Gr. Newkome et al., Synthesis of benzyl-terminated dendrons for use in high-resolution capillary gas chromatography, TETRAHEDR L, 42(43), 2001, pp. 7537-7541
The synthesis, silane functionalization, and facile silica attachment of de
ndritic monomers containing terminal benzyl groups are presented. For the f
irst time, a simple one-step procedure is described that leads to the in si
tu creation of a surface-bonded sol-gel dendritic stationary phase on the i
nner walls of a fused silica capillary; such phases showed unique selectivi
ties in high-resolution capillary gas chromatography. (C) 2001 Elsevier Sci
