Patent ID: 6905724

Claim:
A method of producing a dendrimeric structure on a support surface, comprising the steps of: (a) activating a functional group on a support surface with a first activating reagent, (b) subsequently reacting the activated functional group with a polyamine, (c) reacting a second activating reagent with a component of the polyamine; (d) repeating step (c) several times; and (e) producing a dendrimeric structure on the support surface, wherein the first and the second activating reagents are independently selected from the group consisting of acryloylchloride, 4-nitrophenylchloroformate, carbonyl diimidazole, phenyl chloroformate, phosgene, disphosgene, triphosgene, EDC, N,N′-diisopropyl carbodiimide, dicyclohexyl carbodiimide, disuccinimidyl carbonate, disuccinimidyl oxalate, dimethylsuberimidate dihydrochloride, and phenylene diisothiocyanate.
