New Bis-Chalcon Long-Chain Alkyl Amide Derivatives Synthesized Via Direct Reaction

Abstract

One of the most prevalent transformations in organic chemistry is the production of amide bonds by chemical processes. Seven new long alkyl amide compounds were produced in this study using a direct reaction. The reaction of 3,3'-(1,4-phenylene) bis(1-(4-aminophenyl) prop-2-en-1-one) with various carboxylic acids (mono and di) in the presence of a suitable solvent and an amount of sodium hydroxide yielded four novel compounds (B1-B4). The remaining three amide derivatives (B5, B6, and B7) were prepared under the same conditions by reacting new compounds (B2, B3, and B4) with acrylamide. All the new prepared compounds were characterized by using FT-IR, 1HNMR, and mass spectroscopy, and they confirmed the expected structures of all the derivatives.
