The present invention provides a novel one-step process for preparing substituted aryls which can be used as end-capping monomers for preparing highly branched macromolecule polymers that have highly controlled molecular architectures. The process comprises the steps of (a) reacting an aromatic acid with an activating carbodiimide for a sufficient period of time and under suitable conditions of temperature and pressure to form an activated aromatic intermediate, and (b) reacting said intermediate with a suitable nucleophile for a sufficient period of time and under suitable conditions of temperature and pressure to form said substituted aryl compound.
A process for preparing an aryl compound having the formula ##STR17## wherein R.sub.1 -R.sub.7 are each independently selected from the group consisting of
