1,3,4-Tri substituted pyrazoles synthesized by the reaction of 2-methyl-2-p
henylpropanoyl hydrazide with substituted acetophenone followed by Vilsmeie
r Haack reagent (POCl3/DMF) under microwave irradiation (MWI) and by conven
tional methods are described. The reaction rate is enhanced tremendously un
der microwave irradiation as compared to conventional method with improved
yields.
