Preparation of Novel Push-Pull Benzothiazole Derivatives with Reverse Polarity: Compounds with Potential Non-Linear Optic Application

Abstract

The hitherto unknown 6-dimethylaminobenzothiazole-2-carbaldehyde was prepared as a starting compound for the synthesis of novel push-pull benzothiazole derivatives with reverse polarity. These compounds are substituted at the 2-position by strong electron-acceptor groups and at the 6-position by NMe₂ as strong electron-donor. The new method for synthesis of 6-dimethylaminobenzothiazole involved the successful use of sonochemical reductive methylation. Expected non-linear optical properties of target molecules were studied by EFISH method.
