A systematic study of Knoevenagel reaction and Nazarov cyclization was made on variety of less reactive carbonyl compounds such as ${\beta}$-ketoesters, 1,3-diketones and cyclic active methylene compounds using $Yb(OTf)_3$ as the catalyst. Recycling study confirms reusability of the catalyst without much loss of activity.

Hydrated ferric sulfate can be used as an efficient and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of 2H-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-trione derivatives via one-pot three-component condensation reaction of phthalhydrazide, aromatic aldehydes and cyclic-1,3-diketones in ethanol under reflux conditions.

An efficient one-pot synthesis of acridinediones by $In(OTf)_3$-catalyzed reactions was developed starting from ${\beta}$-enaminones, aldehydes, and cyclic 1,3-diketones. The key strategies of these reactions involve domino Knoevenagel condensation/Michael addition/cyclodehydration reaction.
