Synthesis of Hyperbranched Dendrimers with Hydrophobic Surface Group

Abstract

Hyperbranched dendrimers 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 3a, and 3b were synthesized with m‐terphenyl end group, which can function as hydrophobic surface.

Keywords:

• Hyperbranched dendrimers
• m‐Terphenyl end group
• Hydrophobic surface group
• ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra
