Synthesis of calixarene-capped carbosilane dendrimers

J Org Chem. 2009 Mar 20;74(6):2527-32. doi: 10.1021/jo802714q.

Abstract

A new class of polycalix[4]arene hosts has been constructed based on a carbosilane dendrimer architecture, in which each dendritic branch terminates with a calix[4]arene entity. This study reports the synthesis and characterization of the zeroth generation example with four calix[4]arenes and of the first generation example with 12 calix[4]arenes.
