Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 500 mg of 2'-hydroxy-4,4',6'-trimethoxychalcone and 0.15 ml of propionyl chloride in 5 ml of pyridine was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. After removal of the solvent, the residue was treated with 10 ml of ice-water and 30 ml of chloroform. The mixture was shaken, and the chloroform layer was separated, washed with three 10 ml portions of water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then evaporated under reduced pressure. The oily residue was washed with a small amount of hexane, and the resulting solid was crystallized from ethanol/hexane, yielding 530 mg (90% yield) of 2',4,4'-trimethoxy-6'-(propionyloxy)chalcone as pale yellow needles; m.p. 117°-118° C.
