Basic groups from acid hydrolysis: 1,3,5-Triazaadamantanes (TAAs) are shown to degrade in acidic conditions to produce basic byproducts (see scheme). The rate of hydrolysis can be tuned by changing the substituents present on the aromatic rings. TAA-containing dendrimers can be synthesized readily as a result of the branched architecture of the TAA building blocks.
