 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  | [Description] 
 trans-Chalcone is an open chain flavonoid that may prevent lung and forestomach cancer.
 |  | [Chemical Properties] 
 Trans-Chalcone is a yellowish crystals. M.P. 58℃. (trans-isomer). M .P. 46℃. (cis-isomer).Sp.Gr. 1.07 (liquid).Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol (poorly) and oils.
 |  | [Uses] 
 trans-Chalcone is a positive allosteric modulator of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and exhibits antioxidant activity.
 |  | [Application] 
 trans-Chalcone was used in the synthesis of cis and trans diphenyl cyclopropane. It was also used in screening of surface adsorbed species of isobutybenzene and 4-isobutylacetophenone on bulk fosfotungstic Wells-Dawson acid (H6P2W18O62.xH2O).
 |  | [Definition] 
 ChEBI: Chalcone is a member of the class of chalcones that is acetophenone in which one of the methyl hydrogens has been replaced by a benzylidene group. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a member of styrenes and a member of chalcones.
 |  | [Preparation] 
 trans-Chalcones have been obtained in good yields and selectivities following an environmentally friendly methodology by using montmorillonite KSF as a reusable heterogeneous catalyst.

 |  | [General Description] 
 
 trans-Chalcone is an open chain flavonoid that may prevent lung and forestomach cancer. |  | [Biological Activity] 
 trans-Chalcone exhibits antifungal activity against Trichophyton rubrum. It is inhibitor of fatty acid synthase and α-amylase. It induces programmed cell death due to reduced mitochondrial transmembrane potential in Arabidopsis thaliana roots.
