Abstract

Abstract: The convergent synthesis of a series of monodisperse aromatic dendrimers having molecular diameters of 15-3 1 8, is described. These materials consist of 4, 10, 22, or 46 benzene rings linked symmetrically by u-bonds. Increasingly large dendrimer arms are prepared stepwise via palladium-catalyzed coupling of arylboronic acids to 3, Sdibromo-1- (trimethylsily1) benzene. The aryltrimethylsilane is subsequently converted to a new ...
