Saccharomyces cerevisiae Catalyzed Cyclocondensation Reaction: Synthesis of Pyrazoline

A simple, efficient, and environment friendly method has been developed for the synthesis of pyrazoline by the cyclocondensation of chalcones and hydrazine hydrate using very cheaper catalyst, baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The 3,5-diphenyl pyrazolines are synthesized in moderate to good yield. The method also overcomes drawbacks of the previous pyrazoline synthetic methods and provides a new efficient route to 3,5-diphenyl pyrazoline derivatives.
