A new route for the synthesis of 3,5-diarylcyclohex-2-enones is reported. The 4-acetyl-1,3-diarylhexane- 1,5-diones were obtained by the addition of pentane-2,4-dione to chalcones. The reaction of 4-acetyl-1,3-diarylhexane-1,5-diones with NH4Cl/HCl in EtOH under reflux conditions gave the 3,5-diarylcyclohex- 2-enones in good yields. All synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods (H-1-, C-13-NMR, and IR), and elemental analyses.
