Abstract

A new AB(4)-type hypermonomer with four activated aromatic fluorines was prepared and converted to hyperbranched poly(ether ketones) by nucleophilic aromatic substitution of these fluorine atoms with phenolates. The preparation and application of the AB(4) hypermonomer for the accelerated synthesis of a family of poly(ether ketone) dendrons G2-G4 in good yield are described.
