HYPERBRANCHED COMPOUNDS WITH A TETRAFUNCTIONAL CENTRAL GROUP AND USE OF SAME.

摘要

The invention relates to hyperbranched compounds with a tetrafunctional central group of the general formula (I) C[-Aq-X-]m [-Ar-X-]n [-As-X-]o [-At-X-]p, where the indices and variables have the following meanings: m + n + o + p are 4; m is a whole number between 1 and 3 and n, o and p are 0 or a whole number between 1 and 3; q, r, s and t are a whole number between 1 and 5, q being greater than r, s, t; X is -O-, -S-, or -NH-; A is -CR2-, where R is -H, -F, -Cl, -Br, -CN, -NO2, C1-C3-alkyl or haloalkyl or a C1-C3-alkoxy rest or, when q, r, s and/or t are at least 2, a C2-C4-alkanediyl and/or oxaalkanediyl rest, which bridges between 2 and 5 carbon atoms of the rest -A-, and/or an oxygen atom -O- which bridges between 3 and 5 carbon atoms of the rest -A-. The invention also relates to the use of said compounds as functional components in substance mixtures or for producing hyperbranched or dendrimeric higher-generation compounds.
