Methanol → 2-Hexyloxirane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.50 g of sixth generation PAMAM in 5 ml of methanol was added 0.56 g of epoxyoctane. After 6 days at room temperature, the solvent was evaporated in vacuo to give 0.80 g of colorless oil. The material was soluble in chloroform, toluene or methanol, but not soluble in water. The 13C-NMR spectrum was in accord with a dendrimer with C-8 alkyl groups attached to its terminal amines.
