Abstract

A novel convergent approach for the synthesis of dendritic macromolecules is presented and its scope and versatility demonstrated with the synthesis of a series of monodisperse dendritic polyether macromolecules based on 3,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol as the monomer unit up to a molecular weight of 40 689.
