Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/hlca.19940770702

Chiral triols 1-3 ('tris(hydroxymethyl)methane' derivatives), prepared from (R)-3-hydroxybutanoic acid and aldehydes, are used as center pieces of dendrimers.The triols may be employed as such or after attachment of spacers containing alkyl or aryl moieti
