“…In the literature, the authors selected 3,5-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzoic acid as an unprotected AB 2 building block, which was synthesized by them from 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid and 4-fluoronitrobenzene in the presence of sodium carbonate. 53 In this study, we selected 2, which was commercially available, as an unprotected AB 2 building block. Although the steric hindrance was higher in 2 than in 3,5-bis(4-aminophoxy)benzoic acid, the desired structures were still obtained through corresponding changes in the activation and reaction conditions.…”
