Abstract

A new kind of functionalized Janus dendrimer has been synthesized via a liquid-phase approach, which could easily be purified using a simple precipitation method without the need for chromatographic separation. Their use for liquid-phase organic synthesis has been achieved in the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reactions, giving biaryl products in excellent yields after cleavage.
