Convergent synthesis of dendrimers via the Passerini three-component reaction.
Tuning properties by programming the surface functional group composition of surface-block dendrimers has been limited to dendrimers with only two types of surface functionality (i.e., surface-diblock dendrimers). The Passerini reaction provides dendrimer products from precursor dendrons in reasonable yields. This proof-of-principle experiment opens the door to making surface-triblock dendrimers.
