Synthesis of axially chiral dendrimers containing meta-terphenyl peripheral groups and a chiral binol core

摘要

Frechet-type poly(arylether) dendritic bromides carrying m-terphenyl peripheral groups were synthesised up to second generation by convergent methodology. Simple O-alkylation of chiral (S)-BINOL with the dendritic bromides afforded the corresponding axially chiral dendrimers. The molar optical rotation values of the dendrimers become increasingly negative as the dendrimer generation increases.
