Abstract

Intended for undergraduate students of organic chemistry, this article addresses synthetic concepts surrounding dendrimers, including the use of protecting groups, functional group interconversions, and convergent and divergent synthetic strategies. The review concludes with some of the elementary synthetic transformations used to construct dendrimers.
