title: Enhanced reactivity of dendrons in the Passerini three-component reaction.
abstract: Polymer chemistry has embraced multicomponent reactions for synthesizing multifunctional materials, including structurally perfect multimodal dendrimers. An unexpected substituent effect dramatically shortens the time required for the convergent synthesis of dendrimers via the Passerini three-component reaction.
