Abstract

Chalcones are the primary building blocks for flavonoids and isoflavonoids production. Chalcones are a three-carbon, -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. SOCl2 natural phosphate, lithium nitrate, amino grafted zeolites, zinc oxide, water, K2CO3, PEG400, silica sulfuric acid, ZrCl4, and ionic liquid are among the most commonly used catalysts in the synthesis of the chalcone framework.
