Abstract
The one-step synthesis of amino-polyether tri-tert-butyl ester monomer 2, by condensation of TRIS with tert-butyl acrylate, is reported. The nitrogen of the monomer can be protected with a Cbz group; subsequent removal of the tert-butyl esters with formic acid affords a triacid that is coupled to three monomers to afford an orthogonally protected two-generation, trifurcated polyether-polyamide dendron. The Cbz protecting group may be removed from the second-generation dendron without disturbing the tert-butyl esters of the periphery.
