Synthetic strategy of dendrimers: A review

Dendrimer chemistry is a fascinating and growing area of modern chemistry. Dendrimers are macromolecular entities with unique three-dimensional topologies, multi-functionality, and unique chemical and physical properties. Because of these characteristics, they are particularly well suited for applications in nanotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and medicinal chemistry. The study of dendrimers and hyperbranched polymers is gaining widespread interest from researchers in academia and industry for their unique structure and properties. This review article focused on dendrimer structure and the different synthetic strategies employed at the laboratory and commercial levels. This review covers convergent and divergent approaches, as well as accelerated approaches to dendrimer synthesis.
