Abstract
A simple and practical method for the synthesis of 2-methylenebenzothiazoles via the coupling of a benzothiazole salts and 4-hydroxycoumarins have been described herein. The reaction showed a good substrate range and functional compatibility under mechanochemical conditions, and proceeded without catalysts or solvents. The 2-methylenebenzothiazoles products were achieved via the formation of a C=C double bond and exhibited strong luminescence and typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, indicating their potential for use as fluorescent materials.
