Diels–Alder reaction of anthracene on carbosilane dendrimer

The dendritic macromolecule with 4, 8, 16 and 32 bicyclo end groups on the periphery has been created by the Diels–Alder reaction of anthracene and maleimide. The dendritic skeleton with triple bonds has been prepared by the hydrosilation and the alkynylation of bis(phenylethynyl)dimethylsilane as a core. The peripheral anthracene on dendrimers has been substituted by the reaction of chlorosilyl groups containing dendritic generations and 9-anthracenecarbinol. NMR and MALDI-TOF mass spectrum has characterized these Diels–Alder products.
