Popis: A mild and simple one-pot stepwise method to synthesize 3-arylacetylene coumarins from alkynoates was demonstrated. This catalytic system involves photosensitizer-free photocatalysis and thermocatalysis processes. A series of alkynoates and phenylacetylenes were well tolerated in the optimized multi-catalytic system. The corresponding 3-arylacetylene coumarins were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. The results of the studies of their optical properties showed that the aromatic ring at the C4-position of coumarins is unfavorable for improving the molecular fluorescence quantum yield in solution. Based on the spectral studies and X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis, it was found that AIE activities may exist in some of the 3-arylvinyl-4-aryl-coumarins in their solid state. We expect that these molecules may have potential optical applications.
