, p. 36 - 42 (2013)
A liquid crystalline aryl ester dendrimer containing 1,4-bis(4- hydroxybenzoyloxy) butane as the core moiety was successfully synthesized through an efficient convergent synthetic approach. The polyester fragment was synthesized through a process involving the condensation of 4-(dodecyloxy) benzoic acid with 2,2,2-trichloroethyl-3,5-dihydroxybenzoate. The coupling step was followed by removal of the 2,2,2-trichloroethyl ester group with zinc acetic acid. Characterization of all the synthesized compounds was carried out using spectroscopy methods. The thermal behavior of the acid dendritic wedges and the aryl ester dendrimer was investigated by differential scanning calorimetery and polarizing optical microscopy. Optical microscopy showed a focal-conic texture characteristic of the smectic A phase for novel dimeric dendrimer.

Preparation of polyarylester dendrimers containing 2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,4- butanediol and 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1,4-butanediol cores is described. These polyarylester dendrimers are unsymmetrical with respect to chain lengths and function as model systems for studying in vitro controlled drug release systems. Reaction conditions for deprotection of trichloroethyl group of the dendritic wedges have been improved.

Monodispersed Dendritic Polyesters with Removable Chain Ends: a Versatile Approach to Globular Macromolecules with Chemically Reversible Polarities

, p. 2459 - 2470 (2007/10/02)
A versatile approach to dendritic macromolecules with aromatic polyester inner structure and a readily modified hydrophobic/hydrophilic "surface" is described.The polyester fragments are prepared by a convergent growth process involving 3,5-bis(benzyloxy)benzoic acid as the "surface" or chain-ending moiety and trichloroethyl 3,5-dihydroxybenzoate as the monomer unit.The key esterification step is accomplished in high yield using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4-dimethylaminopyridinium toluene-p-sulfonate as condensing agents.The coupling step is followed by activation of the new focal point by removal of the trichloroethyl ester group with zinc-acetic acid.Repetition of this two-step process leads to large dendritic fragments that may be coupled to a polyfunctional core to complete the dendritic macromolecule.The chemistry chosen for this synthesis allows for subsequent selective removal of the numerous benzyl ether chain ends by hydrogenolysis to afford a dendritic macromolecule with phenolic chain ends.Further modification of the chain ends is readily accomplished in processes that effectively transform the initially hydrophobic dendritic molecule into one that is both hydrophilic and water-soluble.These transformations of the "surface" functionalities are also accompanied by drastic changes in glass transition behaviour.
