SINTESIS (E)-1-NAFTALEN-1-IL-3-(3-NITRO-FENIL)-PROPENON DARI 1-ASETILNAFTALEN DAN 3-NITROBENZALDEHID

Abstract

Chalcone of (E)-1-naphthalene-1-yl-3-(3-nitro-phenyl)-propenone has been synthesized by aldol condensation using NaOH as a catalyst. The synthesis of chalcone compound used stirring method by reacting 1-acetylnaphthalene with 3-nitrobenzaldehyde. (E)-1-naphthalene-1-yl-3-(3-nitro-phenyl)-propenone compound obtained has a good yield 88,68 %. The compound has been characterized using UV, FTIR, NMR and Mass spectroscopy. Data characterization showed that the compound obtained was target compound.
