Highly efficient synthesis of triazolo[1,2-a]indazole-triones and novel spiro triazolo[1,2-a]indazole-tetraones under solvent-free conditions

A new, convenient, and high yielding procedure for the synthesis of triazolo[1,2-a]indazole-triones by the condensation reaction between dimedone, aryl aldehydes, and ueazoles in the presence of a catalytic amount of sulfonated polyethylene glycol (PEG-SO3H) as a highly stable and reusable eco-friendly degradable polymeric catalyst is described under solvent-free conditions. This procedure has also been applied successfully for the synthesis of novel spiro triazolo[1,2-a]indazole-tetraones.
