Abstract.A series containing fourteen 1 N-acetyl-3-(4-β-methacrylate)-5-(substituted phenyl)-4, 5-dihydro-1 H-pyrazolines were synthesized by KF/Al 2 O 3 catalyzed solvent-free condensation of 1 Nacetyl-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(substituted phenyl)-4, 5-dihydro-1 H-pyrazolines and (E)-methyl-2-[2-(bromo methyl)-phenyl]-3-methoxyacrylate under microwave irradiation. The yields of the above 1 Nacetyl-3-(4-β-methacrylate)-5-(substituted phenyl)-4, 5-dihydro-1 H-pyrazolines were more than 90%. These pyrazolines were characterized by their physical constants, IR, NMR and Mass spectral data. The infrared spectral frequencies (ν, cm -1 ) and NMR chemical shifts (δ, ppm) of proton and carbons of these pyrazolines were assigned and correlated with Hammett substituent constants, F and R parameters. From the results of statistical analyses, the effects of substituent on the above spectral data have been discussed.Keywords: Solvent-free synthesis, KF/Al 2 O 3 , β-methacrylate-1 N-acetylpyrazolines, IR spectra, NMR spectra, Hammett correlation
IntroductionThe 1 H-4,5-dihydropyrazoline and 1 N-acetyl-4,5-dihydroprazoline derivatives play structurally more important roles in pharmaceutical field of research because they possess numerous biological activities. were utilized for the above reactions. Now-a-days chemists and organic researchers have paid more attention to solvent-free methods. These methods are important and play vital role for synthesis of organics due to easy work-up procedure, technique, shorter time, less hazardousness, less pollution to the environment, higher yield. Sasikala et al.,[15] have synthesised some 5-chloro-2-thienyl based pyrazoline derivatives by solvent-free method and studied the antimicrobial activities. Sakthinathan et al.[20] have synthesised and studied the effects of substituent on 2-naphthyl based pyrazolines. Spectroscopic data were used for prediction of ground state equilibration of organic compounds such as, E, Z or cis-trans isomers of unsaturated compounds such as, alkenes, alkynes, polyenes, enol-enones, unsaturated acid chlorides, ω-halo-acyl compounds and pyrazoline derivatives. These spectroscopic data were applied for the study of spectral linear regression through Hammett equation. Thirunarayanan et al. have studied the effects of substituents and solventfree synthesis of some 5-bromo-2-thienyl based pyrazolines [22]. The solvent-free synthesis and the Modern
