Abstract

Two dendrimer cores, 5 and 12, containing o-nitrobenzyl photolabile moieties have been synthesized from piperonal in five and eight steps, respectively. Methylated core analogs 6 and 13 undergo clean photocleavage as indicated by the evolution of isosbestic points in the UV spectra during photolysis and the observation of degradation products by ¹H NMR. These dendrimer cores serve as precursors to dendrimer-based photodegradable materials.
