In a sustained search for novel and effective antioxidants, a potential therapeutic leads against renal, and neurological disorders. Amongst the heterocycles, pyrazole and their derivatives have been extensively studied for their biological potencies, particularly to a larger extent for their antioxidant properties. Although many of pyrazole derivatives displayed antioxidant activities, still there is a need of developing efficient protocol for their synthesis, involving ecofriendly conditions, molecules of greater antioxidant efficacy and lesser toxicity, etc.

Inflammation-mediated disorders are on the rise and hence, there is an urgent need for the design and synthesis of new anti-inflammatory drugs with higher affinity and specificity for their potential targets. The current study presents an effective and new protocol for the synthesis of thienyl-pyrazoles through 3 + 2 annulations using a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst Amberlyst-15. Chalcones 3(a-g) prepared from 3-methylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde and acetophenones by Claisen-Schmidt approach reacted with semicarbazide hydrochloride 4 in the presence of Amberlyst-15 in acetonitrile at room temperature producing thienyl-pyrazole carboxamides 5(a-h) in good yields.

Oxidative-stress induces inflammatory diseases and infections caused by drug-resistant microbial strains are on the rise necessitating the discovery of novel small-molecules for intervention therapy. The current study presents an effective and new green protocol for the synthesis of thiophene-appended pyrazoles through 3+2 annulations method. Chalcones 3(a-g) were prepared from 5-chloro-2-acetylthiophene and aromatic aldehydes by Claisen-Schmidt approach.
