The synthesis of the chalcone compounds of the present invention was carried out by a Claisen-Schmidt condensation. Taking chalcone compound 1 as the example, a mixture of 2-hydroxyacetophenone (273.6 mg, 2.01 mmol), 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (279.1 mg, 2.05 mmol), potassium hydroxide (KOH, 50% w/v, 2 ml) and ethanol (100% v/v, 20 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and then partitioned with ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and H2O. The organic layer was then evaporated, and the residue was purified using column chromatography (silica gel: 70-230, Merck; n-hexane-EtOAc, 15:1, Rf=0.2) to give 2-hydroxy-4′-methoxychalcone (chalcone compound 1, 273.6 mg; yield, 53.6%). The purity of compound 1 was greater than 95%, which was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
