Dendronized polymethacrylates carrying lysine-based third generation (G3) dendrons were efficiently synthesized via a macromonomer route by free radical polymerization. These polymers showed amplified chirality when compared to the corresponding free dendrons, and the handedness of their chiral conformations could be mediated by the diastereomeric dendrons.
