Abstract

A novel one-pot synthesis of substituted pyrazoles from chalcones and hydrazines via a tandem cyclization-dehydro­genation approach is described. This process is based on the use of a bifunctional noble-metal/solid-acid catalyst, Pd/C/K-10 montmorillonite and microwave irradiation under solvent-free conditions. The cyclization of chalcones with hydrazines readily takes place on the strong solid acid while the presence of the metal ensures the ­formation of the aromatic product through dehydrogenation. The ­reactions are complete in 30 minutes providing good yields and high selectivities.
