Synthesis of Pyrene Containing Building Blocks for Dendrimer Synthesis

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Efficient syntheses of the novel, pyrene containing branched building blocks 10, 13, 22, 25 and of a pyrene based core molecule 16 for the construction of dendrimers are reported. The main tool is a Suzuki cross-coupling. The functional groups for further growth are amines and carboxylic acids, which were used in an orthogonally protected fashion. It was proven that the building blocks could be assembled to a low generation dendrimer 17.
