The construction of dendrimers by organic1 and inorganic2 paths is well established. Although organotransition-metal moieties have been fixed onto the termini of dendrimers3 for catalytic applications, 4 the only known organotransition-metal synthesis of dendrimers is Puddephatt's oxidative addition of benzyl halides to Pd (0) complexes. 5 The syntheses of large dendrimers usually require a number of steps, which overtakes those involved in the ...
