A one-pot condensation between a wide range of aryl aldehydes and 5-methyl-2-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one by employing ZnO nanoparticles as recyclable and highly efficient catalyst to produce new and known bis(pyrazolyl)methanes in aqueous media is introduced. This efficient and new method to bis(pyrazolyl)methanes has some advantages, such as the use of a safe and reusable catalyst, simple operation, short reaction times, and good to excellent yields of the products.Recently pyrazole derivatives have received much attention from chemists and pharmacologists, since it has been shown that these compounds possess important biological activities such as antianxiety, antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory activity [1][2][3][4]. Therefore, the synthesis of bis(pyrazolyl)methanes has attracted considerable interest from organic and pharmaceutical chemists [5][6][7]. So far, several synthetic routes to bis(pyrazolyl)methanes have been presented in the literature. In recent studies, some research groups have focused on a catalyst-promoted synthesis of bis(pyrazolyl)methanes where an aromatic aldehyde is condensed with 5-methyl-2-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one under various conditions [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Despite several advantages, some of the reported methods suffer from disadvantages such as long reaction times, low product yield, and use of extra tools and unrecyclable catalysts.According to the green chemistry principles, the use of recyclable catalysts and replacement of toxic organic solvents by safe and clean ones are effective ways to prevent waste production in chemical reactions [18][19][20]. Nanocatalysis has recently attracted much attention from chemists because of its notable features. For example, nanosized systems dramatically increase the contact between reactants and catalyst [21]. Among safe and environmentally friendly nanomaterials, ZnO nanoparticles have emerged as safe, recyclable, and highly efficient catalysts in organic reactions [22][23][24].Following our previous studies on the synthesis of new heterocyclic compounds using various catalysts with prominent virtues [25][26][27][28][29], in this work we demonstrate the use of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as an ecofriendly and reusable catalyst for the effective synthesis of a wide range of novel and known
