Overview of Chalcone
Chalcone is an aromatic ketone and enone widely used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemical production. It consists of two aromatic rings linked by a three-carbon α,β-unsaturated carbonyl system, giving it significant reactivity in condensation and cyclisation reactions.
Chalcone is primarily applied in drug synthesis, dye production, and chemical research. It is strictly an industrial and laboratory chemical, not intended for food, fragrance, or cosmetic use.
Application of Chalcone
Pharmaceutical & Organic Synthesis Applications
Used as a building block in the synthesis of flavonoids, heterocyclic compounds, and biologically active molecules.
Valuable in multi-step syntheses for anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial drug intermediates.
Can be interlinked with related products such as Benzethonium Chloride, pyridinium-p-toluenesulfonate, and Silver-dibenzyl-phosphate from the ChemicalBull catalogue.
Dye & Pigment Applications
Applied in dye chemistry for producing azo dyes, fluorescent dyes, and colourants.
Serves as a precursor for chalcone-based dyes and pigment molecules.
Often used alongside aromatic aldehydes and ketones in condensation reactions.
Research & Fine Chemical Applications
Widely used in academic and industrial research laboratories.
Valuable for studying Michael additions, aldol condensations, and photochemical reactions.
Used as a standard reagent in organic chemistry and material science research.
