Abstract
Five new N,N-bis(pyrazole-1-yl-methyl) alkylamines have been prepared in one step by condensation of two equivalents of 1-(hydroxymethyl)-3,5-disubstituted pyrazoles with a series of primary amines. This reaction is carried out under microwave irradiation (60 W) in the absence of solvent for 20 m and affords high yields (75-90%) of mixed nitrogen donor tripodal molecules.
