A “Branched‐Monomer Approach” for the Rapid Synthesis of Dendimers

An accelerated route to the synthesis of dendritic macromolecules through the use of fractal components larger than the repeating unit is described. The first-generation bromide 1 and the second-generation novel branched AB4 monomer 2 can be used to prepare a highly regular fifth-generation poly(ether ester) dendrimer (Mr = 9371) in only three synthetic steps.
