Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A new synthetic strategy to prepare dendrimers using a single, inexpensive monomer is described. Divergent growth relies on a highly efficient, metal‐free Click cycloaddition of azides to alkynes. Functional dendrimers are obtained with minimal purification in high yields, with no by‐product but a water soluble salt, and the excess of monomer used can be recycled at each stage of the iterative synthesis. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1tv9v356" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
