(2E)-3-[4-(1H-Benzimidazol-2-ylmethoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]-1-(4,4''-difluoro-5'-methoxy-1,1':3',1''-terphenyl-4'-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

Novel terphenyl chalcone containing benzimidazole moiety ( 3) is synthesized by the base-catalyzed Claisen–Schmidt condensation of acetyl terphenyl derivative ( 1) with 4-(1 H-benzimidazol-2-ylmethoxy)-3-methoxybenzaldehyde ( 2). Newly prepared chalcone derivative ( 3) is characterized by IR, NMR and mass spectral data.
