Chalcone is an aromatic ketone and an enone that forms the central core for a variety of important biological compounds, which are known collectively as chalcones or chalconoids. Alternative names for chalcone include benzylideneacetophenone, phenyl styryl ketone, benzalacetophenone, β-phenylacrylophenone, γ-oxo-α,γ-diphenyl-α-propylene, and α-phenyl-β-benzoylethylene.
Chemical properties
Chalcones have two absorption maximums at 280 nm and 340 nm.[2]
Chemical reactions
Synthesis
Chalcones can be prepared by an aldol condensation between benzaldehyde and acetophenone in the presence of sodium hydroxide as a catalyst.
This reaction can be carried out without any solvent as a solid-state reaction.[3] The reaction between substituted benzaldehydes and acetophenones can be used as an example of green chemistry in undergraduate education.[4] In a study investigating green syntheses, chalcones were synthesized from the same starting materials in high-temperature water (200 to 350 °C).[5]
Substituted chalcones were also synthesised by piperidine-mediated condensation to avoid side reactions such as multiple condensations, polymerizations, and rearrangements.[6]
Other reactions
An example is the conjugate reduction of the enone by tributyltin hydride:[7]
3,5-Disubstituted 1H-pyrazoles can be produced from a suitably substituted chalcone by reaction with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of elemental sulfur[8] or sodium persulfate,[9] or by using a hydrazone in which case an azine is produced as a by-product. The specific case for formation of 3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole from chalcone itself can be represented as:[10]
Potential pharmacology
Chalcones and their derivatives demonstrate a wide range of biological activities including anti-inflammation.[11] Some 2′-amino chalcones are have been studied as potential antitumor agents.[12][13]
