Synthesis and characterization of polyester dendrimers from acetoacetate and acrylate

Org Lett. 2005 Feb 17;7(4):525-8. doi: 10.1021/ol0482184.

Abstract

New aliphatic polyester-type dendrimers were synthesized using a new AB2-type building block 3, prepared from benzyl acetoacetate and 2 equiv of tert-butyl acrylate by acetoacetic acid ester synthesis. The reiterative [deprotection by HCO2H, then EDCI/DMAP coupling] sequence using divergent growth method gave [G1]-4tBu-[G5]-64tBu dendrimers. 13C NMR relaxation time (T1) measurements on the carboxy carbons show that the extended chain conformations are predominant in CDCl3.
