synthesis and for therapeutic applications. To overcome the drawbacks of the classical
Claisen–Schmidt protocol, a new methodology for the synthesis of dissymmetric (hetero)
diarylideneacetones has been developed. Conditions were optimized with a Box–Behnken
design of experiment. The milder reaction conditions allow the efficient preparation of
fluorinated, or heteroaromatic, dissymmetric diarylideneacetones which cannot be obtained …
