Abstract

Synthesis of 1,5-bis(3’-etoxy-4’-hydroxyphenyI)-1,4-pentadiene-3-on (EHP) by aldol

condensation method from ethyl Vanilin and acetone, using hydrochloride acid as a catalyst, has been

conducted. Identification of the EHP compound was done through interpretation of UV-Vis, FT-IR,

GC-MS and NMR data, The antioxidant activity of EHP (IC50 8.66 µg/mL) is higher than curcumin (IC50

11.44 µg/mL) as demonstrated by the DPPH method.
