Abstract
The gram scale syntheses of first and second generation (G1 and
G2) dendrons 1-4,
and 35, based on aryl and alkyl moieties,
by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling are presented. Both a
divergent and an accelerated convergent route are applied. In addition,
first results on the synthesis of hyperbranched oligomers of AB2 monomer 19 are reported.
Key words
dendrimers - dendrons - Suzuki-Miyaura
cross-coupling - iododesilylation - building blocks

26 A more practical reason was the unfavorable
synthesis protocol of the dibromo compound by Pd-catalyzed allylation
of (3,5-dibromophenyl)trimethylstannane. In order to avoid the handling
of tin compounds the diiodo analog was prepared by a different procedure.

37 Preliminary investigations on the
corresponding G3 dendron (not shown) encountered the additional
problem that the molar mass of this molecule could not be confirmed,
since the applied methods (EI, FAB, MALDI-TOF) only showed much
smaller fragments. The mass spectral analyses of TBDMS-protected
dendrons 3 and 4 point
to the sensitivity of the silyl group with the loss of methyl and tert-butyl groups.

39 The molar mass distribution of hyperbranched poly(phenylene)s,
obtained by Suzuki cross-coupling of 3,5-dibromophenylboronic acid,
was reported to show a large dependence from the used solvent system.
The average number of repeating units was between 13 and 42 (7 examples),
in one example 206 repeating units were achieved.
