Abstract

A robust transition metal-free strategy is presented to access novel β-carboline tethered benzothiophenone derivatives from 1(3)-formyl-β-carbolines using elemental sulphur activated by Et3N/DMSO. This expeditious catalyst-free reaction proceeds through the formation of β-carboline based 2-nitrochalcones followed by incorporation of sulphur to generate the multifunctional β-carboline linked benzothiophenones in good to excellent yields. The synthetic strategy can also be extended towards the synthesis of β-carboline linked benzothiophenes. Moreover, the products as afforded thereof emerged as promising fluorophores and displayed excellent light-emitting properties with quantum yield (ΦF) upto 47%.
