Abstract
A versatile, alternative and environmentally benign strategy for the synthesis of a series of pyrazoles has been successfully performed in water using PEG–SO3H as an acidic catalyst. The products are obtained in high yield from the one-pot reaction procedure involving dicarbonyl compounds and hydrazines/hydrazides. This new method totally avoids the use of organic acids and toxic or expensive solvents in this reaction. The catalyst is waste-free, easily prepared, and efficiently re-used.
