title: Segment block dendrimers via Diels-Alder cycloaddition.
abstract: Segment block dendrimers consisting of polyester and polyaryl ether dendrons were synthesized using reagent free Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions. Three generations of furan functionalized polyaryl ether dendrons were reacted with maleimide functionalized polyester dendrons of the same generation to obtain segment block dendrimers in good yields. The thermoreversible nature of these macromolecules was investigated by subjecting them to elevated temperatures in the presence of anthracene as a scavenger diene.
