Microwave assisted reaction, photophysical studies and antibacterial activities of simple sugar chalcone derivatives

Abstract

Aldol condensation is adopted for the synthesis of sugar chalcone derivatives from b-C-glycosidic ketones with various aromatic aldehydes under basic condition with both conventional as well as microwave condition. Microwave assisted reaction gave an excellent yield. Products obtained were characterized using (¹H, ¹³C) and elemental analysis. Sugar chalcone derivatives exhibited an excellent antibacterial activity.S
