Under an argon atmosphere, a mixture of nitrophe-
nol (8 mmol), K2CO3 (24 mmol) and n-bromoakane (12
mmol) in acetone (50 mL) was heated under reflux
overnight. Ethyl acetate (50 mL) and water (50 mL)
were added, the organic layer was separated, dried over
MgSO4, and the solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The
rude product was purified by column chromatography
(eluent: petroleum ether/ethyl acetate, V∶V=10∶1).
Colorless crystal (yield 82%—85%).

Synthesis of the alkoxysubstituted anilines 3/n
A mixture of ammonium chloride (0.8 mmol) and
iron powder (6 mmol) in water (10 mL) was heated un-
der reflux for 5 min. Then the corresponding nitro com-
pound was added and the solution was refluxed for 3 h.
Afterwards, saturated aqueous Na2CO3 solution was
added, the mixture was stirred for 30 min at 40 ℃ and
extracted with CHCl3. The combined organic extracts
were dried over MgSO4, and the solvent was evaporated
in vacuo. The rude product was purified by column
chromatography (eluent: petroleum ether/ethyl acetate,
V∶V=5∶1). Yields of 3/12, 3/14 and 3/18 were 68%,
70% and 68%, respectively.

T14/AF2 The solvent of the solution of equimolar
amounts of triazine (T12, T14 or T16) (0.05 mmol) and
benzoic acids (A3, AF2 or AF3) (0.05 mmol) was
evaporated and the material heated to the isotropic state,
a dimeric complex consisting of both species linked
through H-bonding was obtained. All the mixtures gave
rise to homogeneous materials, providing evidence for
the formation of a complex.

General procedure for the preparation of
alkoxy-substituted triarylmelamine Tn
Under an argon atmosphere, a mixture of cyanuric
chloride (0.5 mmol), K2CO3 (2 mmol) and appropriate
alkoxysubstituted anilines (3/12, 3/14, 3/18) (2 mmol)
in 2-butanone (20 mL) was heated under reflux for 3 d.
Chloroform and water were added, the organic layer
was separated, dried over MgSO4, and the solvent was
evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by
column chromatography (eluent: petroleum ether/ethyl
acetate, V∶V=10∶1). Yields of T12, T14 and T18
were 71%, 68% and 64%, respectively.
