• lone pair on the allyl nitrogen through the formyl group which makes it less electrophilic towards the active methylene compounds. However, the use of a stronger base, e.g. N,N-diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) under refluxing conditions in ethanol for 3 h gave quite satisfactory results in all cases. In

• catalytic activity was observed which may be attributed to the microscopic changes in the structure of the catalyst. Conclusion An efficient Knoevenagel condensation was achieved between a range of aromatic aldehydes and active methylene compounds in short time periods by using HAP–Cs2CO3 as the catalyst

• effect, which generalizes cyclization of certain derivatives of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-ones. Using this strategy a variety of fused heterocycles is obtained by the Knoevenagel condensation of 5-tert-amino-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazolone-4-carboxal-dehyde 3 with active methylene compounds such as
