Abstract Ca(OTf)2 in combination with NBu4.BF4 was established to function as an efficient catalyst system for one-pot Claisen-Schmidt condensation under neat conditions. Substituted acetophenones and benzaldehydes were coupled in situ to afford their corresponding chalcones in excellent yields. The method, with a broad range of substrate tolerance and mild operational conditions can produce assorted chalcone derivatives in moderate to high yields from easily accessible starting materials.
