Abstract

A simple and facile condensation of hydrazines/hydrazides and diamines with 1, 3- diketones/β-ketoester leads to the preparation of pyrazoles and diazepines in high yields. This eco-friendly protocol is accelerated by microwave heating and efficiently carried out without any reaction solvent or catalyst in as little as 5min.
