Abstract

An accelerated route to the synthesis of dendritic macromolecules through the use of fractal components larger than the repeating unit is described. The first‐generation bromide 1 and the second‐generation novel branched AB4 monomer 2 can be used to prepare a highly regular fifth‐generation poly(ether ester) dendrimer (Mr = 9371) in only three synthetic steps. (Figure Presented.)
