An azyl group of ethylene diamine was protected by N-tert-butoxycarbonyl.The remaining azyl group then successively reacted with methyl acrylate, ethylene diamine and methyl acrylate again to afford the compound Boc-NH 2-(B-COOCH 3) 4 3 (AB-4).The ester groups and the Boc-end group of 3 were transferred to carboxylate 4 and azyl group 5 via hydrolyzation and deprotection respectively.The fan-shape dendron molecules with 16 exterior groups 6 were obtained by condensation of 4 and 5 in the presence of DCC.The dumbbell-like dendrimer molecules 7 could expediently prepared by coupling the dendrons with two functional groups of hexanedioyl chloride.The paper describes the synthesis procedures,reports the characterization results of FTIR、 1H-NMR、 13C-NMR and MALDI-TOF.Comparing with the PAMAM dendrimers from the divergent method, the synthesized compounds possess accurate structures and few defections.
