Synthetic approach towards ‘click’ modified chalcone based organotriethoxysilanes; UV-Vis study

Abstract

The efficient linkage of a conjugate chalcone to <italic>n</italic>-propyltriethoxysilanes <italic>via</italic> a 1,2,3-triazole is reported. The synthesis involves a Claisen–Schmidt condensation followed by a copper(<sc>i</sc>) catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction.
