“…The Crossed-Aldol [2], Claisen Schmidt [3], Knovenagal [4] and Wittig [5] reactions are important for the synthesis of enones. Many catalyst were used for proceedings the above said reactions namely, EtOH-NaOH [6], MeOH-KOH [7], EtOH-KOH [8], MgCl 2 [5], silica-sulphuric acid [9], anhydrous zinc chloride [10], clay [11], Hydrotalcite [12], ground chemistry catalysts-grinding the reactants with sodium hydroxide [13], aqueous alkali in lower temperature [14], solid sulphonic acid from bamboo [15], barium hydroxide [16] anhydrous sodium bicarbonate [17], microwave assisted synthesis [18], flyash: water [19], fly-ash: H 2 SO 4 [20], fly-ash: PTS [21], NaOH-CTABr [22], SiO 2 -H 3 PO 4 [23], SOCl 2 [24] and sulfated titania [25]. The spectral data of these E-chalcones were useful for prediction of ground state equilibration like s-cis and s-trans conformers.…”
