Abstract
Benzylidenecyclohexanone derivatives are compounds with wide bioactivity. Usually, it was synthesized from cyclohexanones and benzaldehyde derivatives under base condition. This research presents a rapid and simple method to synthesis substituted benzylidenecyclohexanone. Cyclohexanone was mixed with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde in acid condition under MAOS for 2 minutes, then it was left to cooled. Brownish purple powder in 81.47% yield was obtained. The product was identified by gas chromatography, then followed by structure elucidation by using NMR spectrophotometer. The novel compound is confirmed as 4-((E)-((1E,3’E)-3’-(4-hydroxybenzylidene)-2’-oxo-[1,1’-bi(cyclohexylidene)]-2,5-dienylidene-4-ylidene) me-thoxy)benzaldehyde.
