A one-pot, solid-acid-catalyzed, microwave-assisted synthesis
of phthalazinones is described. The commercially available montmorillonite
K-10 effectively catalyzed the condensation and substitution reactions.
The approach was based on the direct cyclization of phthalaldehydic
acid and opianic acid with substituted hydrazines. The reactions
provided excellent yields and high selectivities in very short time
(5-35 minutes).
