Repetitive Strategy for Exponential Growth of Hydroxy‐Functionalized Dendrons

The synthesis of dendrons with orthogonally protected functional groups, which allows the construction of dendrons in an exponential fashion, is described. The sequence has been carried out on a gram scale for the first, second, and fourth generation. The dendrons have a relatively loose and flexible structure, which should make further growth feasible. Owing to the dendrons' adjustable and broadly applicable substitution pattern, they are the first representatives of a future construction kit for the systematic synthesis of layered dendrimers. The coupling step involves urethane formation.
