One flask cascade approach to a complex pyrano[2,3- c ]pyrazole-pyrazolone hybrid heterocyclic system and its initiatory neurobiological profiling.

A one-pot multicomponent approach towards a hybrid heterocyclic pyrano[2,3- c ]pyrazole-pyrazolone framework involving tandem Knoevenagel condensation, sequential intermolecular 1,6-Michael addition, and 6- endo dig cyclization between diynones and pyrazolones, mediated by DBU, has been discovered. This process embodies several green and sustainable chemistry features. Preliminary bioactivity profiling of the new chemical entities indicates neuroprotective and AChE inhibitory activities.
