title: Rapid synthesis of polyamide dendrimers from unprotected AB2 building blocks.
abstract: A rapid synthetic method for the preparation of polyamide dendrimer without protection and deprotection steps has been developed. A symmetrically branched third-generation polyamide dendrimer was prepared by a convergent method involving activation of focal point with a condensing agent, diphenyl (2,3-dihydro-2-thioxo-3-benzoxazolyl)phosphonate (DBOP), followed by condensation of the active amide with the diaminocarboxylic acid 3,5-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzoic acid as an AB2 building block.
