An efficient and facile synthesis of flavanones catalyzed by N-methylimidazole

N-Methylimidazole used as an efficient catalyst for the cyclization of 2’- hydroxychalcones to the corresponding flavanones in DMSO was investigated. The scope of this process has been studied and various flavanones were obtained exclusively in good yields.
