Chalcones are the primary building blocks for flavonoids and isoflavonoids production. Chalcones are a threecarbon, -unsaturated carbonyl system. Chalcones form when an aromatic aldehyde reacts with acetophenones in the presence of a catalyst. For the synthesis of these molecules, a variety of methods and approaches have been reported. The Aldol condensation and Claisen-Schmidt condensation reactions are the most commonly referenced synthetic protocols in the literature, but the Suzuki reaction, Witting reaction, and Photo-Fries rearrangement have also been employed as synthetic procedures within the chalcone framework. SOCl 2 natural phosphate, lithium nitrate, amino grafted zeolites, zinc oxide, water, K 2 CO 3 , PEG400, silica sulfuric acid, ZrCl 4 , and ionic liquid are among the most commonly used catalysts in the synthesis of the chalcone framework.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
