Monofunctionalized Dendrons of Different Generations - as Reagents for the Introduction of Dendritic SubstituentsIn recent years dendrimers become more and more important not only in organic chemistry. They represent a new class of molecules with unique characteristic features. But dendrimers represent not only designed molecular architecture. They stand for a new concept in chemistry. They can be used to alter the properties of already existing molecular skeletons or they can be used to transfer new properties to a classical functional unit. This means that functionalized dendrimers and dendrons (dendritic building blocks) can be regarded as reagents for the preparation of new compounds with dendritic properties. In this article the synthesis and the practical use of appropriate dendritic reagents is explained. Furthermore we introduce the new technical terms „{n} dendryl-“ for dendritic substituents of n generations and „dendriagent“ which stands for dendritic reagents. Moreover we give a short outlook on future developments.
