Facile Microwave-Assisted Michael Addition of Diphenacyl Sulfides to Chalcones under Solvent-Free Conditions: Generation of Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical 1,5-Diketones. -Optimum reaction conditions are examined for the addition of diphenacyl sulfides (I) to substituted chalcones (II) to give 1,5-diketones (III). Highest yields are obtained when the reaction is performed under solvent-free conditions and microwave irradiation. -(PAUL, N.; SHANMUGAM, M. J.; MUTHUSUBRAMANIAN*, S.; Synth.
