Synthesis of 4‐Aryl‐3‐Methyl‐1‐Phenyl‐1H‐Benzo[h]Pyrazolo[3,4‐b]Quinoline‐5,10‐diones Using Diammonium Hydrogen Phosphate as an Efficient and Versatile Catalyst in Water

Abstract

AbstractA simple and efficient synthesis of 4‐aryl‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐benzo[h]pyrazolo[3,4‐b]quinoline‐5,10‐diones has been accomplished by the one‐pot condensation reaction of 3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐5‐amine, aldehydes and 2‐hydroxynaphthalene‐1,4‐dione in water in the presence of diammonium hydrogen phosphate.
