The compound 3-Hydroxy-4'-methoxychalcone (1) was prepared by reacting 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde with 4-methoxyacetophenone.The aminomethylation of this chalcone was accomplished by reaction with formaldehyde and N-methylpiperazine in dry acetonitrile to Obtain 3-hydroxy-4'-methoxy-4-(N-methyl-piperazinomethyl) chalcone (2) and 3-hydroxy-4'-methoxy-2,4-bis-(N-methylpiperazinomethyl)chalcone(3). The products were purified by column and thin layer chromatography and were identified along with their intermediates by spectroscopic methods: UV, IR, NMR and mass spectrometry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
