A mesoporous silica/fluorinated alcohol adduct: an efficient metal-free, three-component synthesis of indazolophthalazinetrione heterocycles using a reusable nanoporous/trifluoroethanol adduct (SBA-15/TFE)

The channels of mesoporous (SBA-15) represent a straightforward reactor for the rapid synthesis of indazolophthalazinetrione skeletons via three-component coupling reactions in 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol. The solid SBA-15 and TFE could be recovered and reused. The present method carries the advantage of being performed under neutral conditions and requires no activation or modification of the substrates.
