Zinc oxide catalyzed synthesis of chalcones has been carried out under solvent-free conditions at room temperature. Activated as well as unactivated aromatics smoothly underwent Friedel-Crafts acylation with α, β-unsaturated acid chlorides furnishing excellent yields of the corresponding chalcones. The zinc oxide can be recovered and reused at least three times without any appreciable loss in activity.
