A series of 12 novel methyl- and halogen-substituted bischalcones containing an azo linkage was synthesized by a Claisen-Schmidt condensation between (E)-1-{4-[(4-acetyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)diazenyl]phenyl}ethanone and various araldehydes using microwave irradiation and conventional procedures and the results were compared.
