Abstract Chalcones, considered to be the precursor of flavonoids and isoflavonoids, are abundant in edible plants. They consist of open-chain flavonoids in which the two aromatic rings are joined by a three-carbon α, β-unsaturated carbonyl system. In the present investigation, we tried to apply the microwave irradiation on the synthesis of chalcone derivatives by irradiated acetophenone (1) and benzaldehyde (2) for 3 min. to afford the corresponding chalcone (3) in 99 % yield (Scheme 1). 3,5-Diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (4) was synthesized in 98 % yield by treating of 3 with hydrazine hydrate under microwave irradiation for 3 min (Scheme 2). 1,3,5-Triphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole (5) was synthesized in 99 % yield by treating of 3 with phenyl hydrazine under microwave irradiation for 3 min (Scheme 3). 2,3-Dibromo-1,3-diphenylpropan-1-one (6) (2,3-dibromochalcone) was synthesized in 97 % yield by treating of 3 with bromine water in chloroform under microwave irradiation for 3 min (Scheme 4).
