Hf. Chow et al., FACILE CONSTRUCTION OF ACID-BASE AND REDOX STABLE POLYETHER-BASED DENDRITIC FRAGMENTS, Tetrahedron letters, 36(47), 1995, pp. 8633-8636
Polyether-based dendritic fragments of up to the fourth generation can
be synthesized in good yields from phloroglucinol and 1,3-dibromoprop
ane. These dendritic fragments are stable in acid-base or redox condit
ions and can be linked to various functional core groups to form funct
ional dendrimers which can be served as models to study the influence
of the dendritic structure on the physical, chemical and electrochemic
al properties of the interior core.
