The applied synthetic route has the advantages of easy work-up under mild reaction conditions presenting moderate yields and an environmentally benign procedure. A theoretical study based on conceptual-density functional theory has been done, bond reactivity indices have been calculated and an electrophilic and nucleophilic character of localized orbitals has been determined to analyze the possible electronic mechanisms.}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {ionic liquid}, keywords = {condensation}, keywords = {4-azafluorenones}, keywords = {ultrasound}, keywords = {reaction mechanism}, keywords = {mass spectrometry}, keywords = {DFT studies}, title = {Synthesis of Pyrazolo-Fused 4-Azafluorenones in an Ionic Liquid.
