Abstract Efficient syntheses of tert.-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) and/or benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) protected amine terminated first (G1) and second generation (G2) dendronized macromonomers mostly based on methacrylate polymerizable units are reported. Whenever appropriate the routes to these monomers are compared with one another and with those to related macromonomers in the literature, which results in a comprehensive efficiency and availability picture. On these grounds the methacrylate macromonomers 18 and 37 are identified as the ideal future working horses for the systematic development of the chemistry and properties of surface functionalized dendronized polymers. The latter is available on the 8-15 g scale depending on the route. First orienting experiments with some of the macromonomers prove their polymerizability.
