Abstract

12-Tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40) is found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst in promoting a chemo- and re­gioselective condensation of hydrazines/hydrazides, diamines, and primary amines with various 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in pure water at room temperature to afford pyrazoles, diazepines, and enaminones/enamino esters, respectively, in high yields.

Key words

12-tungstophosphoric acid - recyclable catalyst - condensation - 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds - aqueous medium

  • Among heteropolyacids, tungstic acids are the most widely used catalysts owing to their high acid strengths, thermal stabilities and low reducibilities. The acidity strength follows the order: H3PW12O40 > 4-MeC6H4SO3H > H2SO4, which can be found in:
