Thermally responsive dendrons and dendrimers based on reversible furan-maleimide Diels-Alder adducts.
[reaction: see text]. Benzyl aryl ether dendrons and dendrimers containing thermally reversible furan-maleimide Diels-Alder adducts were prepared up to the third generation. The covalent cleavage and reassembly of the dendrons and dendrimers were evaluated by 1H NMR.
