In order to improve the water solubility of nonpolar compounds such as drugs or dyes, new amphiphilic molecules are needed. In this paper we describe a new class of triblock amphiphiles that we have synthesized by a straightforward convergent approach. These amphiphiles each consist of a nonpolar biphenyl core and a polar shell based on various generations of monoamino polyglycerol dendrons, coupled to the core through amide linkages (1). For the synthesis of these monoamino dendrons we applied a simple iterative two-step process based on allylation of an alcohol group and catalytic dihydroxylation. As starting materials, D,L-serine/serinol and - in a second, similar pathway - commercially available triglycerol were used. The transport behavior of these defined triblock amphiphiles was then investigated with the nonpolar dye Nile Red in water.
