Abstract The synthesis of carbohydratecontaining dendrimers has been achieved by a convergent growth approach. The synthetic strategy involves: 1) the synthesis of the triglucosylated derivative of tris (hydroxymethyl) methylamine (TRIS), 2) the introduction of a glycine-derived spacer and 3, 3′-iminodipropionic acid derived branching units on to the TRIS derivative by amide bond formation, 3) condensation of the above ...
