An efficient and environmental benignmethod is reported for the synthesis of somepyrazolopyrimidine derivatives using 3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone with carbonyl compounds in the presence of nanozeolite Nax catalysts solvent-free and at reflux conditionsIt is noteworthy to mention that this method of the synthesis requires less time less temperature and better yield
1 Introduction
Pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives have received a great deal ofattention due to their pharmacological activities Pyrazolopy-rimidine derivatives have demonstrated promising antimi-crobial activity against gram-positive bacteria [1] Synthesisof such biologically important compounds assumes greatimportance Pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives are purine ana-logues and as such they have useful properties as antimetabo-lites in purine biochemical reaction [2] Moreover thesecompounds also display marked antitumor and antileukemicactivities [3] Pyrazolopyrimidine derivatives have received agreat deal of attention due to their pharmacological activity[4] such as allopurino [5] which is still the drug of choicefor the treatment of hyperuricemia and gouty arthritis [6]1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-arylmethylene-5-pyrazolones are veryuseful intermediates in the synthesis of substituted pyra-zolones generally which were prepared by the condensationof 3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone with aromatic aldehydes[7] The incorporation of another heterocyclic moiety inpyrans either in the form of a substituent or as a fusedcomponent changes its properties and converts it into an alto-gether new and important heterocyclic derivative Pyrazoleshave attracted particular interest over the last few decades
due to the use of such ring system as the core nucleusin various drugs They are well known for their popularpharmacological activities Considering the importance ofpyrazolone derivatives it was thought worthwhile to syn-thesize new compounds incorporating both these moietiesAll the compounds synthesized in the present study werescreened for their antibacterial activity against some bacteria(both gram-negative and gram-positive) namely Escherichiacoli Pseudomonas aeruginosa Staphylococcus aureus Bacillussubtilis and C albicans by filter paper disc technique ZeoliteX is a highly versatilemolecular sieve from the faujasite familyof zeolites whose 74 A three-dimensional pore structureand solid acidity make it useful as a catalyst adsorbentmembrane and others [8ndash10] This type of zeolite is used forheavy metal adsorption [11] aromatics from aromaticalkanemixtures [12] andpara-xylene [13] separation aswell as natu-ral gas desulfurization [14] The powerful catalytic propertiesof X zeolite due to its use in the reaction between MeOHand PhNH

3 Results and Discussion
The preparation of the pyrazolone-pyrimidine derivativesinvolved the reaction of the respective ureathiourea 3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone with aromatic aldehydes byusing nanoparticles of NaX zeolite catalyst under solvent-freeand at reflux conditions (Scheme 1)
All the tested aromatic aldehydes bearing various sub-stituents such as chloro nitro methoxyl and other sub-stituents could successfully react with 3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone within 60ndash90 minutes with high yields Theresults were summarized in Tables 1 and 2
Interestingly we have not obtained the side productswhich were usually accompanied with the target compoundswhen the reaction was carried out in solvent-free The for-mation of the pyrazolopyrimidine system was unequivocallyestablished after analysis of NMR data of the productsThe chemical shifts and multiplicity of the protons were inconsonance with the expected values for example the protonat position 3 of all the compounds was found between 850and 907 ppm as a sharp singlet The XRD pattern matches

The result of DLS is more important than XRD methodsbecause the DLS calculates the particle distribution but theScherrerrsquos equation measures an average particle size TheSEM image recorded for the as-synthesized nanozeolite sam-ple is shown in Figure 2 The Field-Emission Scanning Ele-ctron Microscope (FESEM) image recorded for the as-syn-thesized nanozeolite sample is shown in Figure 2 whichclearly indicates that the particle size of nano-NaX is ultrafineand within a range of 40ndash150 nm which is consistent with theresults calculated from the XRD pattern and dynamic lightscattering (Figure 3)

4 Conclusion
We have demonstrated that the reaction between 3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone with aldehydes and ureathiourea couldbe effectively performed in the presence of nanozeolite NaXcatalyst at reflux and solvent-free conditions The presentmethod has many obvious advantages over classical proce-dures including being environmentally more benign simplethe ease of product isolation higher yield shorter reactiontimes and the potential for recycling ionic liquid and catalystThe recyclability and reusability of the catalyst have beentestedThe new catalyst was inexpensive easy to prepare andstable It maintained its original activity during a period ofmore than a year that constituted this study

very well with the simulated XRD powder pattern for FAUzeolite [12ndash16] indicating that the synthesized crystal is pureFAU zeolite and shows that nanozeolite NaX sample hasmorethan 95 crystalline (Figure 1)
The crystalline phase of aluminosilicate could be pro-duced NaX hydrate zeolite phase after left it in the suitabletemperature and time From the experimental results itcan be explained that the silica content in fly ash is notenough to form NaX hydrate zeolite phase after incubated

an amorphous stateThe nanozeolite NaX is very hydrophilic with entrance
pores of approximately 74 A The particle size distributionsof nanozeolite crystal from dynamic light scattering (DLS)are shown in Figure 2 results indicated a narrow distributionof particle size with an average crystal size of 112 nm Theaverage crystal dimension of 105 plusmn 9 nm was calculated byScherrerrsquos equation from the diffraction peaks at 2120579 values of6∘ [18] 16∘ [10] and 27∘ [13]The average particle size (A) wascalculated by (1)

The result of DLS is more important than XRD methodsbecause the DLS calculates the particle distribution but theScherrerrsquos equation measures an average particle size TheSEM image recorded for the as-synthesized nanozeolite sam-ple is shown in Figure 2 The Field-Emission Scanning Ele-ctron Microscope (FESEM) image recorded for the as-syn-thesized nanozeolite sample is shown in Figure 2 whichclearly indicates that the particle size of nano-NaX is ultrafineand within a range of 40ndash150 nm which is consistent with theresults calculated from the XRD pattern and dynamic lightscattering (Figure 3)
The particle size distributions of nanozeolite crystal fromdynamic light scattering (DLS) are shown in Figure 3 resultsindicated a narrow distribution of particle size with anaverage crystal size of 112 nm

4 Conclusion
We have demonstrated that the reaction between 3-methyl-1-phenyl-5-pyrazolone with aldehydes and ureathiourea couldbe effectively performed in the presence of nanozeolite NaXcatalyst at reflux and solvent-free conditions The presentmethod has many obvious advantages over classical proce-dures including being environmentally more benign simplethe ease of product isolation higher yield shorter reactiontimes and the potential for recycling ionic liquid and catalystThe recyclability and reusability of the catalyst have beentestedThe new catalyst was inexpensive easy to prepare andstable It maintained its original activity during a period ofmore than a year that constituted this study
