Dendrimers are highly branched, monodisperse macromolecules and this field of study has increased rapidly from the time they were discovered about twenty years ago. In this study, PAMAM dendrimer was successfully synthesized by a divergent synthesis route using the reagent excess method starting from ethylenediamine (EDA) followed by consecutive Michael addition and ester amidation reaction. Methanol was used as solvent and three dendrimer generations were prepared: G 1.0, G 2.0 and G 3.0. For preparation of PAMAM-thiol functionalized gold nanoparticle in-situ reduction of gold from Au 3+ to Au0 was achieved through the reaction of nanogold-thiol functionalized PAMAM dendrimer with sodium borohydrate (NaBH4). The PAMAM dendrimer-gold complex gave light purple solution and was characterized by *H nucleus magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopies.
