Functionalization of epoxy resins after curing was performed based on dynamic dioxazaborocane formation between intrinsic diethanolamine units in amine-cured epoxy resins and boronic acid modifiers.
A novel, rapid, inexpensive, and highly accelerated approach for the synthesis of a tadpole-shaped dendrimer possessing monodisperse N-alkylated oligo(p-benzamide) as a rod block with a precise length and an amine-terminated dendritic block based on 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid has been developed. The N-alkylated oligo(p-benzamide)s were prepared by an rapid stepwise method using thionyl chloride as an activating agent and trifluoroacetamide as the protecting group for the end amine, in which the number of amide units dramatically propagated only through every deprotection and condensation. From this rod block, each generation of dendron rod molecules was formed divergently using 3,5-bis(trifluoroacetamido)benzoyl chloride as an AB2 building block.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
