Abstract

A two-step flow reactor has been set up for an expeditious synthesis of 4-benzylidene-pyrazol-5-one derivatives. This procedure involved cyclization of aromatic hydrazine/β-keto ester and subsequent Knoevenagel condensation reaction with aromatic aldehydes in tandem without isolation of intermediates. Residence time was reduced to less than 2 min in total through conducting this reaction at a relatively high temperature. Accordingly, 15 samples were achieved and isolated in moderate to excellent yields.
