Synthesis of low generation phenylenealkylene dendrons as nonpolar building blocks for a dendrimer construction set

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-2003-36263

The gram scale syntheses of first and second generation (G1 and G2) dendrons 1-4, and 35, based on aryl and alkyl moieties, by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling are presented. Both a divergent and an accelerated convergent route are applied. In addition, first results on the synthesis of hyperbranched oligomers of AB₂ monomer 19 are reported.
