Review on Effect of Catalysts in Preparation Methods of Chalcone
Abstract: This review covers effect of some catalysts in preparation methods of chalcone compounds. These compounds are responsible for the coloration of flowers due to the presence of the cascade. The molecules of the compound become highly photo-acetic and thus are ideal chromophores. Recently, a number of studies have been conducted describing the process of separating chalcones from different parts of plants such as roots (roots), buds, leaves (leaves), flowers, seeds …
