  • Patent number: 7977452
    Abstract: This invention provides a cost effective process and new Janus dendrimers where at least two dendrons are attached at the core (with or without a connector group) and where at least two of the dendrons have different functionality. Preferred are those Janus dendrimers where at least one dendron is a PEHAM dendron. Thus these Janus dendrimers are heterobifunctional in character and use unique ligation chemistry with single site functional dendrons, di-dendrons and multi-dendrons. Also included are Janus dendrons which may be used as intermediates to make the Janus dendrimers or to further react with another reactive moiety.
