Formation of 2‐(Phenylsulfonyl)resorcinols (=2‐(Phenylsulfonyl)benzene‐1,3‐diols) from Symmetrically Substituted Maleic Anhydrides (=Furan‐2,5‐diones)

Treatment of symmetrically substituted maleic anhydrides (=furan‐2,5‐diones) 6 with lithium (phenylsulfonyl)methanide, followed by methylation of the adduct with MeI/K₂CO₃ in acetone, give the corresponding 4,5‐disubstituted 2‐methyl‐2‐(phenylsulfonyl)cyclopent‐4‐ene‐1,3‐diones 8 (Scheme 3). Reaction of the latter with lithium (phenylsulfonyl)methanide in THF (?78°) and then with 4 mol‐equiv. BuLi (?5° to r.t.) leads to 5,6‐disubstituted 4‐methyl‐2‐(phenylsulfonyl)benzene‐1,3‐diols 9 (Scheme 4).     

(R)‐2,3‐Cyclohexylideneglyceraldehyde,a Chiral Pool Synthon for the Synthesis of 2‐Azido‐1,3‐diols

A new approach was proposed for the synthesis of 2‐azido‐1,3‐diols from easily available and inexpensive chiral pool synthon (R)‐2,3‐O‐cyclohexylidene‐D ‐glyceraldehyde, through Mitsunobu azidation of 1,2‐diols. Both C(2) and C(1) azides in variable ratios were obtained in alkyl substituted diols with C(2) as the major one.     

2,3‐Diaryl‐3‐hydroxy­propionic acid inter­mediates in the synthesis of threo forms of 1,2‐diaryl‐1,3‐propane­diols

Racemic threo‐3‐hydroxy‐2,3‐diphenyl­propionic acid, C₁₅H₁₄O₃, (I), crystallizes from ethyl acetate as a conglomerate of separate (+)‐ and (−)‐crystals. The geometries of (I) and its methyl ester are compared. Reduction of (I) gives threo‐1,2‐diphenyl‐1,3‐propane­diol. The synthesis of threo forms of 1,2‐diaryl‐1,3‐propane­diols via 2,3‐diaryl‐3‐hydroxy­propionic acids is discussed.     

A Direct,Concise, and Enantioselective Synthesis of 2‐Substituted 4,4,4‐Trifluorobutane‐1,3‐diols Based on the Organocatalytic In Situ Generation of Unstable Trifluoroacetaldehyde

A direct, concise, and enantioselective synthesis of 2‐substituted 4,4,4‐trifluorobutane‐1,3‐diols based on the organocatalytic asymmetric direct aldol reaction of an ethyl hemiacetal of trifluoroacetaldehyde with various aldehydes was examined. A catalytic amount (30 mol %) of commercially available and inexpensive l ‐prolinamide is quite effective as an organocatalyst for the catalytic in situ generation of gaseous and unstable trifluoroacetaldehyde from its hemiacetal, and a successive asymmetric direct aldol reaction with various aldehydes in dichloromethane at 0 °C, followed by reduction with sodium borohydride, gives 2‐substituted 4,4,4‐trifluorobutane‐1,3‐diols in moderate to good yields (31–84 %) with low diastereoselectivities and good to excellent enantioselectivities (64–97 % ee).     

1H NMR spectra of alkane‐1,3‐diols in benzene: GIAO/DFT shift calculations

The proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of propane‐1,3‐diol, 2‐methylpropane‐1,3‐diol, 2,2‐dimethylpropane‐1,3‐diol, butane‐1,3‐diol, 3‐methylbutane‐1,3‐diol, pentane‐2,4‐diols (dl and meso), 2‐methylpentane‐2,4‐diol and cyclohexane‐1,3‐diols (cis and trans) in benzene have been analysed. The conformer distribution and the NMR shifts of these diols have been computed on the basis of density functional theory, the solvent being included by means of the integral equation formalism phase continuum model (IEFPCM) implemented in Gaussian 09. Relative Gibbs energies of all conformers are calculated at the Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof (PBE)0/6‐311 + G(d,p) level, and NMR shifts by the gauge‐including atomic orbital method with the PBE0/6‐311 + G(d,p) geometry and the cc‐pVTZ basis set. Vicinal coupling constants for 1,2‐ and 1,3‐diols are rationalised in terms of relative conformer populations and geometries. The NMR shifts of hydrogen‐bonded protons in individual conformers of alkane‐1,n‐diols show a very rough correlation with the OH?OH distances. The computed overall NMR shifts for CH protons in 1,2‐ and 1,3‐diols are systematically high but correlate very well with the experimental values, with a gradient of 1.07 ± 0.01. Some values for nonequivalent methylene protons in 1,3‐diols are reversed, calculation giving enhanced values for the proton anti to the C? OH bonds. Errors in the NMR shifts computed for the OH protons of nonsymmetrical diols appear to be related to relative populations of conformers where one or other of the OH groups is the donor. Some results based on the second‐order Møller–Plesset approach, the Becke three‐parameter Lee‐Yang‐Parr method and on the IEFPCM solvation model implemented in Gaussian 03 are included.

Double Catalytic Kinetic Resolution (DoCKR) of Acyclic anti‐1,3‐Diols: The Additive Horeau Amplification

The concept of a synergistic double catalytic kinetic resolution (DoCKR) as described in this article was successfully applied to racemic acyclic anti ‐1,3‐diols, a common motif in natural products. This process takes advantage of an additive Horeau amplification involving two successive enantioselective organocatalytic acylation reactions, and leads to diesters and recovered diols with high enantiopurities. It was first developed with C ₂‐symmetrical diols and then further extended to non‐C ₂‐symmetrical anti diols to prepare useful chiral building blocks. The protocol is highly practical as it only requires 1 mol % of a commercially available organocatalyst and leads to easily separable products. This procedure was applied to the shortest reported total synthesis of (+)‐cryptocaryalactone, a natural product with anti‐germinative activity.     

On the Formation of 2‐Sulfonylbenzo[a]heptalene‐1,3‐diols as Precursors for the Synthesis of Colchicinoids

The benzo[a]heptalene formation from 4‐[(R‐sulfonyl)acetyl]heptalene‐5‐carboxylates 15 and 5‐[(R‐sulfonyl)acetyl]heptalene‐4‐carboxylates 16 (R=Ph or morpholino) in the presence of R′SO₂CH₂Li and BuLi has been investigated (Scheme 6). Only the sulfonyl moiety linked to the C?O group at C(4) of the heptalene skeleton is found at C(3) of the formed benzo[a]heptalene‐2,4‐diols 3 in accordance with the general mechanism of their formation (Scheme 3). Intermediates that might rearrange to corresponding 2‐sulfonylbenzo[a]heptalene‐1,3‐diols lose HO^? under the reaction conditions to yield the corresponding cyclopenta[d]heptalenones of type 11 (Schemes 6 and 7). However, the presence of an additional Me group at C(α) of the lithioalkyl sulfones suppresses the loss of HO^?, and 4‐methyl‐2‐sulfonylbenzo[a]heptalene‐1,3‐diols of type 4c have been isolated and characterized for the first time (Schemes 8 and 10). A number of X‐ray crystal‐structure analyses of starting materials and of the new benzo[a]heptalenes have been performed. Finally, benzo[a]heptalene 4c has been transformed into its 1,2,3‐trimethoxy derivative 23 , a benzo[a]heptalene with the colchicinoid substitution pattern at ring A (Scheme 11).     

Synthesis of 3‐(ω‐Hydroxyalkoxy)isobenzofuran‐1(3H)‐ones by Trifluoroacetic Acid‐Mediated Lactonization of tert‐Butyl 2‐(1,3‐Dioxol‐2‐yl)‐ or 2‐(1,3‐Dioxan‐2‐yl)benzoates

An efficient two‐step method for the preparation of 3‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)‐ or 3‐(3‐hydroxypropoxy)isobenzofuran‐1(3H)‐ones 3 has been developed. Thus, the reaction of 1‐(1,3‐dioxol‐2‐yl)‐ or 1‐(1,3‐dioxan‐2‐yl)‐2‐lithiobenzenes, generated in situ by the treatment of 1‐bromo‐2‐(1,3‐dioxol‐2‐yl)‐ or 1‐bromo‐2‐(1,3‐dioxan‐2‐yl)benzenes 1 with BuLi in THF at ?78°, with (Boc)₂O afforded tert‐butyl 2‐(1,3‐dioxol‐2‐yl)‐ or 2‐(1,3‐dioxan‐2‐yl)benzoates 2 , which can subsequently undergo facile lactonization on treatment with CF₃COOH (TFA) in CH₂Cl₂ at 0° to give the desired products in reasonable yields.     

A Green Synthesis of 7‐amino‐5‐(4‐aroyl)‐1,3‐dimethyl‐2,4‐dioxo‐1,2,3,4,5,8‐hexahydropyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidine‐6‐carbonitrile Derivatives by a One‐pot Three‐component Reaction

The synthesis of polyfunctionalized 7‐amino‐5‐(4‐aroyl)‐1,3‐dimethyl‐2,4‐dioxo‐1,2,3,4,5,8‐hexahydropyrido[2,3‐d ]pyrimidine‐6‐carbonitrile derivatives by a green approach was achieved via one‐pot three‐component reaction of arylglyoxals, malononitrile, and 1,3‐dimethyl‐6‐aminouracil in the presence of urea as organocatalyst in EtOH:H₂O (1:1) at 60°C. This protocol provides a mild and fast procedure to structurally diverse bicyclic pyridopyrimidines in good to excellent yields.     

Regioselective Synthesis of Trichloromethyl‐Substituted Salicylates and Cyclohexenones by One‐Pot Cyclizations of 1,3‐Bis(trimethylsilyloxy)buta‐1,3‐dienes

A variety of 6‐(trichloromethyl)salicylates (=2‐hydroxy‐6‐(trichloromethyl)benzoates) were prepared by TiCl₄‐mediated cyclization of 1,3‐bis(trimethylsilyloxy)buta‐1,3‐dienes with 1,1,1‐trichloro‐4,4‐dimethoxybut‐3‐en‐2‐one. The employment of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (Me₃SiOTf) as Lewis acid resulted in the formation of trichloromethyl‐substituted cyclohexenones. The cyclizations proceeded with good‐to‐very‐good regioselectivities.     

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Racemic 1,5‐Diols: 2‐(1,3‐Diaryl‐3‐hydroxypropyl)cyclohexan‐1‐ol Derivatives

A series of novel racemic 2‐(1,3‐diaryl‐3‐hydroxypropyl)cyclohexan‐1‐ol derivatives were synthesized from 1,5‐diketones. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods. The antibacterial activities of obtained chiral 1,5‐diols were investigated against four Gram‐positive and three Gram‐negative bacteria by determining of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) in vitro. Compounds 3b , 3c , and 3d were found to be active against Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli. In addition, compound 3j were found to be moderately active against all tested bacterial strains.     

Mononuclear nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes with deprotonated forms of the tripodal hexadentate ligand 1,3‐bis(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐2‐(2‐hydroxybenzylideneaminomethyl)‐2‐methylpropane‐1,3‐diamine

In the crystal structures of both title compounds, [1,3‐bis(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐2‐methyl‐2‐(2‐oxidobenzylideneaminomethyl)propane‐1,3‐diamine]nickel(II) [2‐(2‐hydroxybenzylideneaminomethyl)‐2‐methyl‐1,3‐bis(2‐oxidobenzylidene)propane‐1,3‐diamine]nickel(II) chloride methanol disolvate, [Ni(C₂₆H_25.5N₃O₃)]₂Cl·2CH₄O, and [1,3‐bis(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐2‐methyl‐2‐(2‐oxidobenzylideneaminomethyl)propane‐1,3‐diamine]zinc(II) perchlorate [2‐(2‐hydroxybenzylideneaminomethyl)‐2‐methyl‐1,3‐bis(2‐oxidobenzylidene)propane‐1,3‐diamine]zinc(II) methanol trisolvate, [Zn(C₂₆H₂₅N₃O₃)]ClO₄·[Zn(C₂₆H₂₆N₃O₃)]·3CH₄O, the 3d metal ion is in an approximately octahedral environment composed of three facially coordinated imine N atoms and three phenol O atoms. The two mononuclear units are linked by three phenol–phenolate O—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a dimeric structure. In the Ni compound, the asymmetric unit consists of one mononuclear unit, one‐half of a chloride anion and a methanol solvent molecule. In the O—H...O hydrogen bonds, two H atoms are located near the centre of O...O and one H atom is disordered over two positions. The Ni^II compound is thus formulated as [Ni(H_1.5L)]₂Cl·2CH₃OH [H₃L is 1,3‐bis(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐2‐(2‐hydroxybenzylideneaminomethyl)‐2‐methylpropane‐1,3‐diamine]. In the analogous Zn^II compound, the asymmetric unit consists of two crystallographically independent mononuclear units, one perchlorate anion and three methanol solvent molecules. The mode of hydrogen bonding connecting the two mononuclear units is slightly different, and the formula can be written as [Zn(H₂L)]ClO₄·[Zn(HL)]·3CH₃OH. In both compounds, each mononuclear unit is chiral with either a Δ or a Λ configuration because of the screw coordination arrangement of the achiral tripodal ligand around the 3d metal ion. In the dimeric structure, molecules with Δ–Δ and Λ–Λ pairs co‐exist in the crystal structure to form a racemic crystal. A notable difference is observed between the M—O(phenol) and M—O(phenolate) bond lengths, the former being longer than the latter. In addition, as the ionic radius of the metal ion decreases, the M—O and M—N bond distances decrease.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Crystal Structure of 1,3‐Dipentafluorophenyl‐2,2,2,4,4,4‐hexazido‐1,3‐diaza‐2,4‐diphosphetidine

1,3‐Dipentafluorophenyl‐2,2,2,4,4,4‐hexazido‐1,3‐diaza‐2,4‐diphosphetidine ( 1 ) was synthesized by the reaction of [(C₆F₅)NPCl₃]₂ with trimethylsilyl azide in CH₂Cl₂ and characterized by multinuclear NMR and vibrational spectroscopy. The molecular structure of the compound was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis. [(C₆F₅)NP(N₃)₃]₂ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 9.6414(2), b = 7.4170(1) and c = 15.9447(4) Å, β = 94.4374(9)°, with 2 formula units per unit cell. The bond situation in [(C₆F₅)NP(N₃)₃]₂ has been studied on the basis of NBO analysis. The antisymmetric stretching vibration of the azide groups is discussed. The structural diversity of 1 and 1,3‐diphenyl‐2,2,2,4,4,4‐hexazido‐1,3‐diaza‐2,4‐diphosphetidine in solution and in the solid state depending on the aryl substituent at the nitrogen atom is discussed.     

(±)‐6‐tert‐Butyl‐8‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐­phenyl‐4H‐1,3‐benzodioxin and 2,2,2′,2′,6,6′‐hexamethyl‐8,8′‐methylenebis(4H‐1,3‐benzodioxin)

Two compounds containing 1,3‐benzodioxin groups are reported, namely (±)‐6‐tert‐butyl‐8‐hydroxy­methyl‐2‐phenyl‐4H‐1,3‐benzodioxin, C₁₉H₂₂O₃, (I), and 2,2,2′,2′,6,6′‐hexamethyl‐8,8′‐methyl­enebis(4H‐1,3‐benzodioxin), C₂₃H₂₈O₄, (II).The hydroxy groups of neighbouring mol­ecules in (I) are hydrogen bonded to each other, giving rise to double‐row chains. The mol­ecule in (II) adopts a `butterfly' conformation, with the O atoms in distal positions. In both compounds, the dioxin rings are in distorted half‐chair conformations.     

Synthesis and structures of photoactive manganese–carbonyl complexes derived from 2‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1,3‐benzothiazole and 2‐(quinolin‐2‐yl)‐1,3‐benzothiazole

PhotoCORMs (photo‐active CO‐releasing molecules) have emerged as a class of CO donors where the CO release process can be triggered upon illumination with light of appropriate wavelength. We have recently reported an Mn‐based photoCORM, namely [MnBr(pbt)(CO)₃] [pbt is 2‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1,3‐benzothiazole], where the CO release event can be tracked within cellular milieu by virtue of the emergence of strong blue fluorescence. In pursuit of developing more such trackable photoCORMs, we report herein the syntheses and structural characterization of two Mn^I–carbonyl complexes, namely fac‐tricarbonylchlorido[2‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1,3‐benzothiazole‐κ²N ,N ′]manganese(I), [MnCl(C₁₂H₈N₂S)(CO)₃], (1), and fac‐tricarbonylchlorido[2‐(quinolin‐2‐yl)‐1,3‐benzothiazole‐κ²N ,N ′]manganese(I), [MnCl(C₁₆H₁₀N₂S)(CO)₃], (2). In both complexes, the Mn^I center resides in a distorted octahedral coordination environment. Weak intermolecular C—H…Cl contacts in complex (1) and Cl…S contacts in complex (2) consolidate their extended structures. These complexes also exhibit CO release upon exposure to low‐power broadband visible light. The apparent CO release rates for the two complexes have been measured to compare their CO donating capacity. The fluorogenic 2‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)‐1,3‐benzothiazole and 2‐(quinolin‐2‐yl)‐1,3‐benzothiazole ligands provide a convenient way to track the CO release event through the `turn‐ON' fluorescence which results upon de‐ligation of the ligands from their respective metal centers following CO photorelease.     

Synthesis of Imidazole Derivatives Using 2‐Unsubstituted 1H‐Imidazole 3‐Oxides

The reaction of 1,4,5‐trisubstituted 1H‐imidazole 3‐oxides 1 with Ac₂O in CH₂Cl₂ at 0 – 5° leads to the corresponding 1,3‐dihydro‐2H‐imidazol‐2‐ones 4 in good yields. In refluxing Ac₂O, the N‐oxides 1 are transformed to N‐acetylated 1,3‐dihydro‐2H‐imidazol‐2‐ones 5 . The proposed mechanisms for these reactions are analogous to those for N‐oxides of 6‐membered heterocycles (Scheme 2). A smooth synthesis of 1H‐imidazole‐2‐carbonitriles 2 starting with 1 is achieved by treatment with trimethylsilanecarbonitrile (Me₃SiCN) in CH₂Cl₂ at 0 – 5° (Scheme 3).     

Efficient Synthesis of 2,3‐Disubstituted‐1,3‐benzoxazines by Chlorotrimethylsilane‐Mediated Aza‐Acetalizations of Aromatic Aldehydes

A series of novel substituted 3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazines were prepared in moderate to good yields by aza‐acetalizations of aromatic aldehydes with 2‐(N‐substituted aminomethyl)phenols in the presence of chlorotrimethylsilane or SnCl₄. It was found that chlorotrimethylsilane was more effective for the reaction, especially for the reaction of fluorobenzaldehyde, and thereby, an efficient method for the preparation of 3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐1,3‐benzoxazines was developed. The structures of the compounds were determined by FT‐IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, MS, and elemental analysis.     

Synthese und Reaktivität von 2‐Brom‐1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborol Molekülstruktur von Bis(1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborol‐2‐yl)

Synthesis and Reactivity of 2‐Bromo‐1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H ‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborole Molecular Structure of Bis(1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H ‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborol‐2‐yl The reaction of a slurry of calcium hydride in toluene with N,N′‐diethyl‐o‐phenylenediamine ( 1 ) and boron tribromide affords 2‐bromo‐1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborol ( 2 ) as a colorless oil. Compound 2 is converted into 2‐cyano‐1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborole ( 3 ) by treatment with silver cyanide in acetonitrile. Reaction of 2 with an equimolar amount of methyllithium affords 1,3‐diethyl‐2‐methyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborole ( 4 ). 1,3,2‐Benzodiazaborole is smoothly reduced by a potassium‐sodium alloy to yield bis(1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborol‐2‐yl] ( 7 ), which crystallizes from n‐pentane as colorless needles. Compound 7 is also obtained from the reaction of 2 and LiSnMe₃ instead of the expected 2‐trimethylstannyl‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborole. N,N′‐Bis(1,3‐diethyl‐2,3‐dihydro‐1 H‐1,3,2‐benzodiazaborol‐2‐ yl)‐1,2‐diamino‐ethane ( 6 ) results from the reaction of 2 with Li(en)C≡CH as the only boron containing product. Compounds 2 – 4 , 6 and 7 are characterized by means of elemental analyses and spectroscopy (IR, ¹H‐, ¹¹B{¹H}‐, ¹³C{¹H}‐NMR, MS). The molecular structure of 7 was elucidated by X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

2,3:4,6‐Di‐O‐isopropylidene‐α‐l‐sorbofuranose and 2,3‐O‐isopropylidene‐α‐l‐sorbofuranose

In the title compounds, C₁₂H₂₀O₆, (I), and C₉H₁₆O₆, (II), the five‐membered furanose ring adopts a ⁴T₃ conformation and the five‐membered 1,3‐dioxolane ring adopts an E₃ conformation. The six‐membered 1,3‐dioxane ring in (I) adopts an almost ideal ^OC₃ conformation. The hydrogen‐bonding patterns for these compounds differ substantially: (I) features just one intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond [O...O = 2.933 (3) Å], whereas (II) exhibits, apart from the corresponding intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond [O...O = 2.7638 (13) Å], two intermolecular bonds of this type [O...O = 2.7708 (13) and 2.7730 (12) Å]. This study illustrates both the similarity between the conformations of furanose, 1,3‐dioxolane and 1,3‐dioxane rings in analogous isopropylidene‐substituted carbohydrate structures and the only negligible influence of the presence of a 1,3‐dioxane ring on the conformations of furanose and 1,3‐dioxolane rings. In addition, in comparison with reported analogs, replacement of the –CH₂OH group at the C1‐furanose position by another group can considerably affect the conformation of the 1,3‐dioxolane ring.     

A new two‐dimensional ZnII coordination polymer based on 1,3‐bis(2‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)benzene and 5‐nitrobenzene‐1,3‐dicarboxylic acid: synthesis,crystal structure and physical properties

A novel two‐dimensional (2D) Zn^II coordination framework, poly[[μ‐1,3‐bis(2‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)benzene](μ‐5‐nitrobenzene‐1,3‐dicarboxylato)zinc(II)], [Zn(C₈H₃NO₆)(C₁₄H₁₄N₄)]_n or [Zn(NO₂‐BDC)(1,3‐BMIB)]_n [1,3‐BMIB is 1,3‐bis(2‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)benzene and NO₂‐H₂BDC is 5‐nitrobenzene‐1,3‐dicarboxylic acid], has been prepared and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, thermal analysis and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis revealed that the compound is a new 2D polymer with a 6³ topology parallel to the (10) crystal planes based on left‐handed helices, right‐handed helical NO₂‐BDC–Zn chains and [Zn₂(1,3‐BMIB)₂]_n clusters. In the crystal, adjacent layers are further connected by C—H…O hydrogen bonds, C—H…π interactions, C—O…π interactions and N—O…π interactions to form a three‐dimensional structure in the solid state. In addition, the compound exhibits strong fluorescence emissions in the solid state at room temperature.
