<strong>Microwave Activated Synthesis of Benzalacetones and Study of Their Potential Antioxidant Activity Using Artificial Neural Networks Method</strong>
Abstract:The α,β-unsaturated ketones known as benzalacetones are an interesting class of compounds frequently used as key intermediates in organic synthesis. Due to their conjugated system, benzalacetone and derivatives have been described as radical scavengers with potential antioxidant properties. We report here a simple and direct method to prepare functionalized α,βunsaturated ketones via a microwaves activated Claisen-Schmidt reaction. The experimental protocol developed selectively produces benzalacetones without… Show more
