Preparation of Various Derivatives of Dibenzalpropanone by using Lithum Hydroxide as Green Approach
Keywords:
Benzalacetones, microwave, Aryl Aldehyde.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,β-unsaturated ketones via a microwaves activated Aldol Condensation reaction. The experimental protocol developed selectively produces benzalacetones of self-condensation product in very short reaction times and good yields.
