Description
Summary:Compounds with pyrazolemoieties as nitrogen-containing heterocyclic systems have received attention owing to their diverse biological activities. Alum (KAl(SO4)2∙12H2O) is an inexpensive, reusable and nontoxic catalyst used to synthesize 1H-pyrazole derivatives via the reaction of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one and carbonyl compound under solvent-free conditions at 60 °C. The proposed method has been used for the preparation of 1H-pyrazole derivatives to yield green products for cleaning-in-place and to avoid toxic catalysts and hazardous solvents in accordance with the philosophy of sustainable chemistry.
