A series of pyrimidine annulated dihydropyrano[2, 3-c]pyrazole derivatives were synthesized and screened for their antimicrobial activity. The precursor, dihydropyrano[2, 3-c]pyrazole was synthesised under catalyst free condition using PEG-400 as reaction medium which facilitated improved yield compared to base catalyzed reaction. Wide scope of substrates, simple workup procedure and high yield even in the absence of catalyst are the major highlights of the protocol. Dihydropyrano[2, 3-c]pyrazoles on condensation with formic acid formed pyrimidine annulated dihydropyrano[2, 3-c]pyrazole derivatives. All the products are characterized using FTIR, $^1H-NMR$ and $^{13}C-NMR$ spectroscopic techniques. The molecules have shown good to moderate activity as antimicrobial agents when compared to the standard drug ciprofloxacin.

Coupling of naphthacylpyridinium bromide 2 [1-(2-naphthyl) ethanone-2-pyridinium bromide] with N-nitrosoacetarylamides afforded C-(2-naphthoyl)-N-arylmethanohydrazonoylpyridinium bromides 3A-C. Treatment of 3A-C with base afforded the corresponding tetrazines 6A-C. Cycloaddition of nitrilimines 5A-C to N-arylmaleimides, acrylonitrile, ethyl acrylate, acrylamide, fumaronitrile, $\alpha$-cyanocinnamonitriles, ethyl $\alpha$-cyano-p-nitrocinnamates and $\alpha$-cyano-p-nitrocinnamamide afforded the corresponding cycloadducts 7-14, respectively. The cycloadducts 11-14 undergo a facile thermal elimination of hydrogen cyanide to give the corresponding pyrazoles 18-21 respectively.

The reaction of 3-(1-ethoxycarbonyl)ethyl-1,2-dihydro-2-oxoquinoxaline (8) with hydrazine hydrate gave 3-(1-hydrazinocarbonyl)ethyl-2-hydroxyquinoxaline (9). The reaction of compound 9 with substituted benzaldehydes and heteroaryl aldehydes afforded 2-hydroxyquinoxalines (10-12), respectively. The reaction of compound 9 with alkyl (ethoxymethylene)cyanoacetates and ethoxymethylenemalononitrile resulted in the intramolecular cyclization to give the 5-amino-1-[2-(3-hydroxyquinoxalin-2-yl)propanoyl]-pyrazoles (13), respectively. Compounds 10-13 showed the tautomerism between the lactam and lactim forms in dimethyl sulfoxide solution. The tautomer ratios were determined by the $^1H$ NMR. The herbicidal and fungicidal activities of the synthesized compounds were investigated.

Various 2-amino-6-[3-(substituted phenyl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydropyrazol-1-yl]-4-(substituted phenyl)nicotinonitriles (3a-t) were designed and synthesized by clubbing two active anticonvulsant pharmacophores pyrazole and pyridine. All the synthesized compounds possessed the pharmacophoric elements essential for good anticonvulsant activity. The anticonvulsant screening was performed by maximal electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazole (scPTZ) tests. Two compounds 3i and 3s showed significant anticonvulsant activity in both the screens with $ED_{50}$ values 17.5 mg/kg and 22.6 mg/kg respectively in MES screen and 154.1 mg/kg and 242.6 mg/kg respectively in scPTZ screen. They were also found to have no acute toxic effects in mice when tested at elevated doses.

The reaction of 3-methoxycarbonylmethylene-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline(7) with hydrazine hydrate gave 3-hydrazinocarbonylmethylene-2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoxaline(8). The reaction of compound 8 with alkyl (ethoxymethylene)cyanoacetates gave the [(quinoxalin-2-ylidene)ethanoyl]-1H-pyra-zoles(9). The reaction of compound 9b with N-alkylanilines provided the N-alkyl-(quinoxalin-2-ylidene)-N-phenylethanamides(10). Compounds 9 and 10 showed the tautomerism between the enamine and methylene imine forms in solution. The tautomer ratios were determined by the $^1H$ NMR.
