Microwave-Assisted Synthesis and Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of 3-{3-(s-Aryl and s-Heteroaromatic)acryloyl}-2Hchromen-2-one Derivatives (2010)
The exploration of potential utilization of microwaves as an energy source for heterocyclic synthesis
was herein investigated using condensation of 3-acetylcoumarin (1) with aromatic and heteroaromatic
aldehydes to afford the corresponding aromatic chalcones (2a–j) and heteroaromatic chalcones (3a–e
and 4a–e), respectively, in good to excellent yield within 1–3 min. The chemical...
