10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 3 Issue 3 2012 (July - September) Chalcones (3a-e) on reaction with catalytic amount of I lessThan sub greaterThan 2 lessThan /sub greaterThan in DMSO gives Flavones (4a-e) in high yield. The corresponding chalcones (3a-e) were obtained by Claisen-Schimdt condensation of aromatic aldehydes with o-hydroxy acetophenone. The flavones obtained were further studied for antifungal activity.
