1-(2-hydroxy-3,4-benzophenyl-5-methoxy)-3aryl-prop-2-ene-1-one & semicarbazide / thiosemicarbazide / phenylhydrazine /isonicotinic acid hydrazide were added to DMF and the mixture was refluxed for about 2 hours . The reaction mixture was cooled and diluted with water. The semisolid so obtained was triturated with ethanol to get a solid which was recrystallised from ethanol–acetic acid mixture to obtain titled pyrazolines
