Some selective N-acylations and N-alkylations of this precursor had been described in the literature, involving in many cases additional protection and deprotection steps or affording modest yields

• from 4-(n-octyloxy)aniline, seven G-2 melamine-based dendrimers were obtained in 29–79% overall yields. Their iterative convergent- and chemoselective synthesis consisted of SN2-Ar aminations of cyanuric chloride and final triple N-acylations and Williamson etherifications (→ G-2 covalent trimers) or

• acylations, O-acylation and N-acylations, the latter is more favoured in aminoalkanol NH2(CH2)nOH because the amino residue serves as a better nucleophile than the hydroxy group. The selectivity of the aminoalkanol NH2(CH2)nOH towards N-acylation rather than O-acylation is attributed to following reasons (i
