Ra. Gossage et al., SYNTHESIS OF A KEY REACTIVE UNIT FOR USE IN THE DIVERGENT OR CONVERGENT SYNTHESIS OF CARBOSILANE DENDRIMERS, Tetrahedron letters, 39(16), 1998, pp. 2397-2400
The new organosilane 4-triallylsilylphenol (1) can be synthesised in h
igh yield via two routes using either 4-bromophenol or its silyl-group
protected derivative as starting materials. Compound 1 can be used in
the divergent or convergent synthesis of carbosilane dendrimers or co
nversely as a readily functionalisable dendrimer core unit. An improve
d synthesis of chlorotriallylsilane is also presented. (C) 1998 Elsevi
