Abstract

A universal method for the synthesis of hydrophilic dendrimers was considered. The method is based on a combination of carbosilane dendrimers with different molecular organizations and hydrophilizing agents, viz., substituted hydride silanes containing one and three protected hydroxyl groups. The combination of a limited set of the mentioned reagents makes it possible to control the ratio of hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties of the molecular structure in wide limits. A simple and convenient method for the removal of trimethylsilyl protection of hydroxyl groups in the surface layer of dendrimers was developed.
