An efficient and clean synthesis of 1,3-diaryl-2-propenones has been carried out by Claisen Schmidt condensation reaction of aryl methyl ketones with a series of aromatic aldehydes at room temperature in the presence of the catalyst silicotungstic acid (STA). This method provides an ecofriendly, chemoselective, efficient and green synthesis of 1,3-diaryl-2-propenones in excellent yields.
Graphical abstractAn efficient solvent-free Claisen Schmidt condensation reaction of aryl methyl ketones with a series of aromatic aldehydes at room temperature in the presence of the catalyst silicotungstic acid (STA) is reported. This method provides an ecofriendly, chemoselective, efficient and green synthesis of 1,3-diaryl-2-propenones in excellent yields.Download full-size image
