An Improved Method for the Synthesis of Butein Using SOCl<sub>2</sub>/EtOH as Catalyst and Deciphering Its Inhibition Mechanism on Xanthine Oxidase

Butein (3,4,2&#8242;,4&#8242;-tetrahydroxychalcone) belongs to the chalcone family of flavonoids and possesses various biological activities. In this study, butein was synthesized through aldol condensation catalyzed by thionyl chloride (SOCl<sub>2</sub>)/ethyl alcohol (EtOH) for...
