Synthesis of Pyrene Containing Building Blocks for Dendrimer Synthesis

Abstract

Efficient syntheses of the novel, pyrene containing branched building blocks 10, 13, 22, 25 and of a pyrene based core molecule 16 for the construction of dendrimers are reported. The main tool is a Suzuki cross-coupling. The functional groups for further growth are amines and carboxylic acids, which were used in an orthogonally protected fashion. It was proven that the building blocks could be assembled to a low generation dendrimer 17.
