Synthesis of 1, 3-diaryl-2-propene-1-one derivatives using Tripotassium phosphate as an alternative and efficient catalyst and study its cytotoxic and antimicrobial properties

A series of fourteen chalcone was synthesized via. Claisen–Schmidt condensation between substituted 2- hydroxyl acetonaphthones and substituted benzaldehyde in presence of tripotassium phosphate (K3PO4) catalyst.
