Synthesis of Aliphatic Polyamide Dendrimers Based on Facile Convergent Method

Abstract

A novel and rapid approach for the synthesis of aliphatic polyamide dendrimers, consisting of the 3,4-dialkoxyhydrocinnamamide structure as a repeating unit, has been developed. Aliphatic polyamide dendrons and dendrimers were easily prepared by a convergent approach involving activation of a carboxylic acid at the focal point using (2,3-dihydro-2-thioxo-3-benzoxazolyl)phosphonate (DBOP) as the activating agent, followed by condensation with an unprotected AB2 building block. Dumbbell-shaped and star-shaped third generation dendrimers were prepared from the third generation dendron and core molecules containing two or three functional groups. All the above products could be purified only by precipitation, and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR, IR, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass (MALDI–TOF–MS) spectroscopies and elemental analysis.

Accelerated synthesis of large generation triazine dendrimers using microwave assisted reactions: a 24 hour challenge

“…To this end, many different approaches have been pursued. 4 In most of the cases, hypermonomers are employed that exploit the simplicity of Michael additions, 5 acid-amine conjugations, 6 thiol-ene photoadditions 7 and click chemistry. 8 The "onion peel" dendrimers described by Roy et al provide a noteworthy example.…”

Bio-based semi-aromatic polyamide/functional clay nanocomposites: preparation and properties

“…15 Such polyamides offer a wide range of properties including transparency, outstanding strength-to-weight ratios, high thermal resistance, and good barrier and solvent resistant properties, respectively. [16][17][18][19][20][21] In our latest work, a novel biobased semi-aromatic polyamide (BPA) derived from nonanedioic acid and aromatic diamine containing a pyridine group has been synthesized and characterized. 22 However, it has been found that while the use of conventional nanoclay (Cloisite 30B) can slightly improve the ame retardancy of BPA materials, it also severely decreases their mechanical properties.…”
