Synthesis of Diamine Containing Chalcone Structure by Nitroammoniation and Aldol Condensation

In this paper, the structure of the photosensitive diamines was designed and the method of synthesizing such diamines was investigated. The 1-(3-aminophenyl)-3-(4-aminophenyl)-2-propen-1-one analyzed by elemental analysis and infrared analysis was synthesized through two-step experiments with Aldol condensation and Nitroammoniation process. Through the experiment the optimum reaction conditions are raw material ratio of 1:1, anhydrous ethanol dosage of 60 ml, 10 % NaOH dosage of 10 ml and reaction temperature of 25°C for 4h. The yield was about 55.4 %.
