A new Heck-type reaction for the synthesis of chalcones has been established using Mannich bases as enone precursors. The novel reaction proceeds rapidly in air atmosphere under ligandless conditions and can be adapted for library synthesis in a parallel reactor station. Screening of the synthesized chalcones revealed N-{4-[(1E)-3-oxo-3-(3-pyridinyl)-1-propenyl]phenyl}benzamide (3f) to be a potent anti-leishmanial agent.
