Abstract

Convergent and divergent syntheses of novel organic hybrid structures termed dendron rodcoils (DRC) containing dendritic, rodlike, and coillike segments are described. The aryl ester dendron masked with 32 trifluoromethyl groups is prepared via a convergent approach using 5-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy) isophthalic acid as the monomer unit. The activation of the focal point of the dendron allows for successful coupling between the dendron and the ...
