The invention discloses a method for efficiently synthesizing 1,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propene-1-one, which belongs to the field of organic chemical synthesis. The method is through the Claisen-Schmidt reaction, with p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and p-hydroxyacetophenone as reactants, and boron trifluoride ether as a catalyst, by gradually adding the catalyst to the raw material solution, and adding dry Agents can effectively ensure the activity of the catalyst, thereby optimizing the reaction to obtain the product. After the reaction, the product solution was added dropwise into deionized water, and the precipitate was collected and dried. This method is convenient and quick, easy to implement, can realize the synthesis of 1,5-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,4-pentadien-3-one with high yield (>98%), and has important practical application value , suitable for industrial production.
