“…In general, chalcones were prepared by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of electrophilic substituted benzaldehyde with substituted acetophenone as nucleophile in the presence of bases such as NaOH, KOH, Ba(OH) 2 , LiOH, NaH, hydrotalcites, Zeolites, Na 2 CO 3 , K 2 CO 3 , magnesium t-butoxide, alumina, MgO, KF/natural phosphate, calcined NaNO 3 -natural phosphates, and piperidine. Chalcones are also prepared by ultrasonic vibration and microwave irradiation techniques [17][18][19].…”
