title: An efficient and selective microwave-assisted Claisen-Schmidt reaction for the synthesis of functionalized benzalacetones.
abstract: A simple and direct method for the Claisen-Schmidt reaction to prepare functionalized α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed. Microwave irradiation of aldehydes with acetone produces benzalacetones selectively without self-condensation product in very short reaction times and good yields.
