Synthesis novel flavone from vanillin

Flavone compounds present as secondary metabolites in many plants have beneficial phytochemical activity. Isolation of flavones from various parts has been widely carried out, but the synthesis pathway is another way to obtain higher yields. This research aimed synthesize flavone vanillin and 2-hydroxyacetophenone through chalcone intermediates produce a 74% yield using an iodide catalyst. new compound used chemosensor detect anions
