GENERAL METHOD: Acetylacetone (10 mmol) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (30 mL) and boronic anhydride (5.0 mmol) was added. Subsequently, vanillin (20 mmol) or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (20 mmol) and tributyl borate (40 mmol) were added to the solution. The reaction mixture was stirred at 50 °C for 10 min. Next, a solution of n-butylamine (5.0 mmol) in ethyl acetate (5 mL) was slowly added dropwise at 15 °C. After completion of the dropwise addition, the reaction mixture was warmed to 80 °C and stirring was continued for 4 hours. Upon completion of the reaction, the reaction was quenched by the addition of 1N hydrochloric acid (30 mL) and stirring was continued for 40 minutes. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure and the residue was recrystallized from methanol to give the target products (1E,6E)-1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)hepta-1,6-diene-3,5-dione (curcuminoids 1a and 1b) as a yellow solid.

3.2. General Method for the Synthesis of CCM (1a) and BCM (1b)
General procedure: Acetylacetone (10 mmol) was added to a solution of boric anhydride (5.0 mmol) in ethyl acetate (30 mL), followed by the addition of vanillin (20 mmol) or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (20 mmol) and tributyl borate (40 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 50 °C for 10 min. Subsequently, n-butylamine (5.0 mmol) in ethyl acetate (5 mL) was added dropwise over 15 min at 50 °C and additionally stirred for 4 hours at 80 °C. Hydrochloric acid (1 N, 30 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred for another 40 min. The organic layers were washed with water, dried with Na2SO4. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was recrystallized from methanol to give the corresponding curcuminoids (1a and 1b) as yellow solids.
