Rapid Synthesis of Functionalized High-Generation Polyester Dendrimers via Strain-Promoted Alkyne–Azide Cycloaddition

Preparation of structurally perfect high-generation dendrimer libraries with different peripheral groups is challenging as divergent synthesis introduces peripheral defects and convergent synthesis leads to low yields. Here, we prepare a third-generation polyester dendron based on the bisMPA monomer structure, having eight peripheral azide functionalities, as an “inner” dendron. We also prepare a series of low-generation “outer” dendrons (G2 …
