Sonogashira Coupling Reaction and its Application in Dendrimer Synthesis

Abstract

Sonogashira cross-coupling process is a synthetic method for producing aryl-alkyne conjugates. In last few years, several researchers have been able to explore the divergent and convergent approaches of dendrimer synthesis. Dendrimers are radially symmetrical molecules which are nanoscale in size and have a well-defined homogeneous and monodisperse structure with symmetric or asymmetric core, inner shell and outer shell. Several dendrimers have been produced via various C-C coupling processes. In present review, we focused on the synthesis of few dendrimers using the Sonogashira Coupling reaction as a vital steps.
