Abstract

Calcium hydroxide was found to be an efficient catalyst for synthesis of polyhydroxy chalcones. This method has been employed to synthesize various 2′, 4′- dihydroxychalcones having various substituents on the B ring. The merits of this method include shorter reaction time, inexpensive and easily available catalyst, high yield, and easy workup compared to other reported methods.
