Dendrimers characterized by monodisperse hyperbranched structure have been applied in many fields due to their unique properties such as precise structure, plenty of internal cavities and high density of surface functional groups. Dendrimers with internal and peripheral dual-functional groups attract much attention because of their versatility in functionalization. Herein, started from allylamine, followed by BOC protection and m-CPBA oxidation, we synthesized 3-BOC-protected amino-1,2-propylene oxide(BN-PO). Using BN-PO as the only monomer and by sequential amine-epoxy click reaction and BOC-deprotection, a new type of poly(hydroxypropylene imine)(HOPPI) dendrimer, with internal hydroxyl groups and peripheral amine groups, was synthesized. In the epoxy-amine click reaction, a slight excess of monomer(1.2 equiv.) was used to drive the reaction to completion, DIPEA or DABCO was used as catalyst to accelerate the reaction. A simple precipitation in hexane was sufficient to remove the unreacted monomer. HCl was used for BOC-deprotection. The resulting hydrochloride was subsequently removed using Ca(OH)2 to expose free amine groups. The fourth generation dendrimer, containing 60 internal hydroxyl groups and 32 peripheral amine groups, was easily obtained using this simple and efficient synthesis procedure. The dendrimer structures were confirmed by 1H-NMR spectra, mass spectra and gel permeation chromatography. The corresponding peak integral ratios in 1H-NMR spectra showed proper structure of dendrimers. A side reaction in the epoxy-amine click reaction, due to the attack on different carbon, was also revealed. Mass spectra showed the mass-to-charge ratio of dendrimers, which further confirmed the precise structure of dendrimers. Gel permeation chromatography(GPC) showed a narrow distribution of the molecular weight of the dendrimers. The molecular weight obtained from GPC was smaller than the theoretical value as the hydrodynamic volume of the dendrimer was smaller than that of the linear po
