Aseries of 4-aryl-3-methyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine­6(7H)- ones were synthesized via catalyst-free, one-pot three-component reaction of 5-amino-3-methyl-1H-pyrazole,MeldrumÂ’s acid, and various aldehydes in refluxing ethanol. This protocol has merits of higher yields, easy-workup, and environmentally friendly approach.
