Abstract:
Four chalcones containing naphthalene moiety were synthesized from acetylnaphthalene
and chlorobenzaldehyde by aldol condensation reaction under stirring with aqueous KOH solution
as catalyst. Those compounds were identified as (E)-3-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)prop-
2-en-1-one (CN1), (E)-3-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (CN2), (E)-3-
(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(naphthalen-1-yl) prop-2-en-1-one (CN3) and (E)-3-(4-chlorophenil)-1-
(naphthalen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (CN4) with yield of 81.9%, 61.7%, 90.1% and 98.3%,
respectively. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic data analyses
including HRMS and NMR.
