PAMAM dendrimers up to G1 have been synthesized by the divergent method taking advantage of microwave irradiation and using the CoolMate TM accessory to avoid high temperatures and long reaction times, which usually lead to defects in the dendrimer structure. Two tools have been successfully used to determine the purity of the products in addition to NMR spectroscopy, namely MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry and capillary‐zone electrophoresis. These techniques show that the dendrimers were obtained in good yields, high purity, and with near‐perfect regioselectivity.
