Synthesis of highly fluorescent y-enyne dendrimers with four and six arms

J Org Chem. 2003 Jun 27;68(13):5377-80. doi: 10.1021/jo026718+.

Abstract

A first generation of dendrimeric Y-enynes with extended flexible chains was synthesized using Sonogashira coupling. Dendrimers 9 and 10 are highly fluorescent in the solid state and in solution.
