[16] developed a set of fifty nine chalcones (especially methoxylated and some hydroxylated derivatives) by Claisen-Schmidt condensation of required acetophenone with various substituted benzaldehydes.
[18] synthesized a large number of chalcones by reacting differentially substituted acetophenones with 2,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehydes using Claisen-Schmidt condensation and analyzed their anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities.
