title: Palladium-catalyzed phthalazinone synthesis using paraformaldehyde as carbon source.
abstract: A palladium-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of phthalazinones from 2-halomethyl benzoates, paraformaldehyde, and aryl hydrazines is described. Various substituted phthalazinones were selectively obtained in good yields using paraformaldehyde as the cheap carbon source (CH).
