A Green Approach: For the Synthesis of Curcumin and Its Derivatives

Here in the present research work we have developed newer method for the synthesis of curcumin C. Barium Hydroxide was found to be an effective and mild base synthesis of curcumin and its derivatives obtained by reaction of one equivalent of acetyl acetone with two equivalent of corresponding aromatic aldehyde in microwave. The current scheme offers various benefits such as high yield, less time, and environmentally friendly.
