“…The condensation of aldehydes with two equivalents of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone is a conventional chemical approach to 4,4′-(arylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrazol-5-ols). Many catalysts have been used for this transformation such as xanthan sulfuric acid 4 , phosphomolybdic acid 5 , silica sulfuric acid 6 , 3-aminopropylated silica gel 7 , sodium dodecyl sulfate 8 , [Cu(3,4-tmtppa)](MeSO 4 ) 4 9 , PEG-SO 3 H 10 , cellulose sulfuric acid 11 , lithium hydroxide monohydrate 12 , 1,3,5-tris(hydrogensulfato) benzene 13 , sulfuric acid ([3-(3-silicapropyl)sulfanyl]propyl)ester 14 , ethylenediammonium diacetate 15 , [Sipmim]HSO 4 16 , TEBA 17 , ceric ammonium nitrate 18 , silica-bonded S-sulfonic acid 19 , 2-hydroxyethylammonium acetate 20 , 1,3-disulfonic acid imidazolium tetrachloroaluminate 21 and 1-sulfopyridinium chloride 22 . Catalyst-free protocol and the electrocatalytic procedure were also applied to the preparation of 4,4'-(arylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrazol-5-ols) [23][24][25][26] .…”
