Abstract: Natural products obtained from the plants have a wide range of medicinal values. The pure chemical components separated from the plant extract provides unlimited opportunities for new drug as they have unmatched chemical diversity. Due to the increasing therapeutic use of natural products interest in edible plants has grown throughout the world. Chemical synthesis of the natural product is also carried out to learn a variety of biological activities. The focus of this paper is on methodologies that include extraction, separation, identification, and synthesis of natural products. The work was divided into two parts. Extraction of Fruits of Emblica Officinalis was carried out and three compounds were isolated and identified. In the second part synthesis of Chalcone was carried out. Two methods are reported for the synthesis of Chalcones in the literature i.e. Claisen-Schmidt condensation & Aldol condensation. However the synthesis of Chalcone has been done by using Aldol condensation of acetophenone and benzaldehyde. Different techniques such as chromatography i.e. Column chromatography and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) as well as spectroscopic techniques such as IR, UV, and NMR were used for identification of Natural & synthetic compounds.

Keywords: Extraction, Isolation, Synthesis & Natural products
