Double-Stage Convergent Approach for the Synthesis of Functionalized Dendritic Aliphatic Polyesters Based on 2,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic Acid

Abstract

The fourth generation tridendron dendrimer based on 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid (bis-MPA) with 48 hydroxyl groups was synthesized in high yields using N, N ‘-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) for the coupling steps. A double-stage convergent approach reduced the number of synthetic and liquid chromatographic steps required in the synthesis and purification of the final dendrimers. The hydroxyl functional dendrimer was subjected to a variety of surface modifications by reaction with different acid chlorides. The acetonide, hydroxy, acetate, n -octanoate, n -palmitoate, and benzoate end-functionalized dendrimers showed large differences in thermal and solution behavior depending on the nature of their end groups. The glass transition temperature varied from −4 °C for the acetate-terminated dendrimer to +57 °C for the hydroxyl-functionalized dendrimer. Dendrimers terminated with long alkyl chains were highly soluble in hexane and dichloromethane and poorly soluble in water and methanol whereas the hydroxy-terminated dendrimer showed the opposite solution behavior. All surface modified dendrimers were amorphous according to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) except for the n -palmitoate-terminated dendrimer that showed a distinct melting transition at +28 °C in its DSC trace due to the crystallization of the long alkyl chains.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
