Abstract
Aromatic aldehydes are efficiently condensed with 2'-hydroxyacetophenone by polymer-supported basic ionic liquid as an excellent heterogeneous catalyst utilizing the ClaisenâSchmidt reaction. Microwave irradiation has been employed, providing flavanone in good yield and short reaction time.
