An expedient approach to internally functionalized chiral dendrimers: synthesis of a dendritic molecule incorporating furanoside skeleton.
In an approach to chiral dendritic molecules, a dendrimer incorporating pentose units in the interior and hexose units in the periphery is built up on a 1, 3, 5-trisubstituted aromatic core by using 1,2:5,6-diisopropylidene glucose as the carbohydrate precursor and a 3, 5-disubstituted aromatic unit as the branching block. The carbohydrate moiety also provides internal functionalities in the form of hemiacetal moiety of the furanoside ring.
