How is Chalcone (CAS: 94-41-7) typically synthesized?
Answer
Chalcone (CAS: 94-41-7) is commonly synthesized via a Claisen-Schmidt condensation of an α,β-unsaturated ketone with a phenol or aldehyde. The reaction typically requires a base like sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The yield can be improved by careful control of reaction conditions and the use of suitable solvents. The method is selective and can produce high yields of chalcone.
