A series of novel pyrazoles compounds were synthesized by the reaction of five kinds of substitute α-bromoacetophenone with pyrazole intermediates which was prepared by the reaction of chalcones and thiosemicarbazones. This method has some advantages such as mild reaction condition, easy operation and higher yield. All the compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR.

An efficient enantioselective Michael addition of ethyl-2-cyanoacetate and diethyl malonate to α,β-unsaturated ketones catalyzed by a simple chiral Schiff base, and products were obtained in good yields at room temperature.
MCM-41 supported heteropoly acids （HPAs） catalysts were synthesized, characterized and their catalytic activity was evaluated in an aza-Michael addition reaction between nitroolefins and benzotriazole in water at room temperature. 50 wt% PW/MCM-41 showed the highest activity （up to 96% yield）. The catalyst was used in six consecutive experiments without obvious loss of activity, confirming the success of the anchoring process and the catalyst stability.
