A new approach for the synthesis of novel naphthoquinone chalcone hybrid compounds

A facile and efficient synthesis of novel naphthoquinone-based chalcone hybrids (7 and 24) via the microwave-assisted one-pot three-component reactions of 2-substituted-1,4-naphthoquinones, N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA), and acetophenone derivatives has been reported. Whereas the synthesis of hybrids 7 proceeded via a condensation, 1,4-addition, rotation, elimination, and [1,3]-H shift sequence of steps, the synthesis of...
