Preparation of 1,5-Diketones by Addition of Cyclohexanone to Chalcones under Solvent-free Phase Transfer Catalyst Condition

Authors: MUSTAFA CEYLAN, HAYRETTİN GEZEGEN

Abstract: Eight different chalcone-1,5-diketone derivatives (5a-h) were prepared by the reaction of chalcone derivatives (3a-h) with cyclohexanone under the solvent-free phase transfer catalyst condition with modarate to high yields. The mechanistic pathway of the reaction can be explained by the Michael-type addition of cyclohexanone to chalcone derivatives (3a-h).
