General, fast, and efficient fusion methods for the synthesis of dendrimers with 1,3-diynes at a core were developed. The synthetic strategy was employed the oxidative homo-coupling of terminal alkyne. The oxidative homo-coupling reaction of the alkyne-functionalized Frechet-type dendrons 1-Dm was allowed to provide first through fourth generation dendrimers 2-Gm with 1,3-diynes at core. The fusion of the propargylfunctionalized PAMAM dendrons 3-Dm by homo-coupling of terminal alkyne lead to the formation of symmetric PAMAM dendrimers 4-Gm. Their structure of dendrimers was confirmed by $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and GPC analysis.

General, fast, and efficient methods for the synthesis of Fréchet-type dendrimers having core diversities were elaborated. Two core building blocks, 4,4'-(3,5-bis(propargyloxy)benzyloxy)bisphenyl and N,N,N',N'-tetra(prop-2- ynyloxycarbonylethyl)-1,2-diaminoethane, were designed to serve as the alkyne functionalities for dendrimer growth via click reactions with the azide-dendrons. The synthetic strategy involved an 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between an alkyne and an azide- functionalized Fréchet-type dendrons in the presence of Cu(I) species which is known as the best example of click chemistry.
