Combining click-multicomponent reaction: one-pot synthesis of triazolyl methoxy-phenyl indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-trione derivatives.

[(1,2,3-Triazol-4-yl)methoxy-phenyl]-2H-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-trione derivatives were synthesized in a simple and efficient method from the one-pot four-component condensation reaction of phthalhydrazide, aromatic propargyloxy aldehydes, active methylene compounds (dimedone and 1,3-cyclohexanedione), and azides in the presence of Cu(OAc)(2)/sodium ascorbate and p-toluenesulfonic acid as catalysts in good to excellent yields.
