Chalcones or 1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one derivatives flavonoids consist of two aromatic rings that are linked by a threecarbon α, β-unsaturated carbonyl unit (Avila et al, 2008;Reddy et al, 2010), and key precursors for the synthesis of a various flavonoids, some of which are components in food (Narender et al, 2007). We intend to use the intensely-orange title compound, (I), in the synthesis of other compounds.…”
