Results and discussion
In order to optimize the reaction conditions,
hydrazine hydrate, 3-oxobutanenitrile,
2-phthaldehydic acid and dimedone were taken as
model reactants.
The best results were achieved in ethanol as a
solvent under reflux temperature. It was found that
when the reaction was carried out in the absence of
catalyst, the yields percentage of reactions was low.

The experiments showed that the yield of
reactions was increased in the presence of acidic
catalysts. The highest yields were attained in the
presence of 0.3 mmol of 4-toluenesulfonic acid
as catalyst at reflux conditions.
The reaction proceeded with both cyclic and
acyclic CH-acids to obtain different products.
When we used cyclic CH-acids, isoindolo[2,1-
c]pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline derivatives were
synthesized as the final products.

used acyclic CH-acids. O O

The effect of substituent's on the synthesized
pyrazole ring was investigated. It is shown that
the yield of reaction is increased if the steric
effect of the substituent at the C3 position is
reduced. Therefore, because of less hindered
effect of –CH3, the highest yields were
achieved in comparison with –Ph and
-C(CH3)3. NH

Conclusion
In conclusion, some new N-fused heterocyclic
compounds have been simply synthesized via an
efficient one-pot four-component reaction with highly
bond formation in the final products.
The most important advantage of this reaction is the
formation of all rings during the reaction time.
Moreover, 4-toluenesulfonic acid as an available and
cheap catalyst, and ethanol as a green organic solvent
have been used.
