Chemical properties

edit

Chalcones have two absorption maxima at 280 nm and 340 nm.[4]

Biosynthesis

edit

Chalcones and chalconoids are synthesized in plants as secondary metabolites. The enzyme chalcone synthase, a type III polyketide synthase, is responsible for the biosynthesis of these compounds. The enzyme is found in all "higher" (vascular) and several "lower" (non-vascular) plants.[5]

Laboratory synthesis

edit

Chalcone is usually prepared by an aldol condensation between benzaldehyde and acetophenone.[6]

preparation of chalcone 

This reaction, which can be carried out without any solvent, is so reliable that it is often given as an example of green chemistry in undergraduate education.[7]

Potential pharmacology

edit

Chalcones and their derivatives demonstrate a wide range of biological activities including anti-inflammation.[8] Some 2′-amino chalcones have been studied as potential antitumor agents.[9][10] Chalcones are of interest in medicinal chemistry and have been described as a privileged scaffold.[5]
