“…The condensation of aldehydes with two equivalents of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone is a known used route for synthesizing 4,4′-(arylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrazol-5-ol)s. Xanthan sulfuric acid (4), phosphomolybdic acid (5), silica sulfuric acid (6), 3-aminopropylated silica gel (7), sodium dodecyl sulfate (8), tetramethyl-tetra-3,4-pyridinoporphyrazinato copper(II) methyl sulfate (9), poly(ethylene glycol)-bound sulfonic acid (10), cellulose sulfuric acid (11), lithium hydroxide monohydrate (12), 1,3,5-tris(hydrogensulfato) benzene (13), sulfuric acid ([3-(3-silicapropyl)sulfanyl]propyl)ester (14), ethylenediammonium diacetate (15), 2-hydroxy ethylammonium acetate (16), N-(3-silicapropyl)-N-methyl imidazolium hydrogen sulfate (17), benzyltriethylammonium chloride (18), ceric ammonium nitrate (19), silica-bonded S-sulfonic acid (20), 1,3-disulfonic acid imidazolium tetrachloroaluminate (21), and 1-sulfopyridinium chloride (22) can be used as catalysts for this transformation. Hasaninejad et al reported the synthesis of 4,4′-(arylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrazol-5-ol)s by the condensation of aldehydes with two equivalents of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone in the absence of catalyst (23)(24)(25).…”
