A universal method for the synthesis of hydrophilic dendrimers was considered. The method is based on a combination of carbosilane dendrimers with different molecular organizations and hydrophilizing agents, viz., substituted hydride silanes containing one and three protected hydroxyl groups. The combination of a limited set of the mentioned reagents makes it possible to control the ratio of hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties of the molecular structure in wide limits. A simple and convenient method for the removal of trimethylsilyl protection of hydroxyl groups in the surface layer of dendrimers was developed.
Polysiloxane-bound ligand accelerated catalysis: A modular approach to heterogeneous and homogeneous macromolecular asymmetric dihydroxylation ligands

Polysiloxane acts as a modular scaffold for macromolecular reagent development. Two separate components were covalently integrated into one material, one constituent provided reagent functionality, the other modulated solubility. In particular cinchona alkaloid based ligands used in the osmium tetroxide catalyzed asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) reaction were covalently attached to commercially available polysiloxane. To enhance the reactivity of these polymeric ligands, multifunctional reagents were designed to include both the cinchona alkaloid and an alkoxyethylester solubilizing moiety providing random co-polymers. While the mono-functional materials led to heterogeneous conditions, the bifunctional polymers resulted in homogeneous reaction mixtures. Although both reagent types provided diol products with excellent yield and selectivity (>99% ee in nearly quantitative yield) the homogeneous analog has nearly twice the reactivity. Every repeat unit in the heterogeneous material was functionalized along the polysiloxane backbone while approximately half of these sites contained ligand in the homogeneous version. This approach led to macromolecular catalysts with high loadings of ligand and therefore materials with very low equivalent weights. Although these polymers are highly loaded they do maintain reactivity on a par with their free ligand counterpart. Using straightforward purification techniques (i.e. precipitation, simple filtration, or ultrafiltration) these polymeric ligands were easily separated from diol product and reused multiple times. Polysiloxane is a viable support for the catalysis of AD reactions and may provide a generally useful backbone for other catalytic systems.
