Abstract

Nine derivatives of chalcones were successfully synthesized using the Claisen- Schmidt condensation reaction between different derivatives of benzaldehyde and acetophenone at low temperature in the presence of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and ethanol. The compounds were obtained in high yield. The percentage yield ranges from 90.38 – 27.68%, with sample B having the highest yield while sample I gave lowest yield. Also, the infra-red and nuclear magnetic resonance (FTIR and NMR) spectroscopic analysis shows distinct spectrum across all molecules, indicating the presence of unique functional groups and chemical environments.
