General description

Aggregation behavior of 3,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol based dendritic polymers has been investigated by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. Preparation of dendritic polyether macromolecules based on 3, 5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol building block and having carboxylate groups as chain-ends has been described.

Application

3,5-Dihydroxybenzyl alcohol may be used as monomer for the synthesis of a series of monodisperse dendritic polyether macromolecules. It may be employed in the synthesis of dimethylsilyl linked dihydroxybenzyl alcohol based dendrimers.
