20. Some work on the postsynthetic modification within the interior of a dendrimer has been published. However, these do not involve substitutions at the core or focal point.

25. We have previously demonstrated complete incorporation of p-nitrophenyl ester in hyperbranched polyesters with controlled molecular weight. For further details see, Alston, J.; Ge, Y.; Gittins, P. J.; Twyman, L. J. Macromolecules 2004, 37 (20). 2428.
26. This drop in conversion or focal point reactivity is similar to the steric crowding effects that block/limit the focal point reactivity of large dendrons during the latter stages of a convergent dendrimer synthesis. For an example see: Hawker, C. J.; Frechet, J. M. J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, 7638.
27. 1H NMR initially suggested an 85% level of incorporation, whilst the intensity of the newly formed benzyl peak only indicated a 50% level of incorporation. This difference in conversion was attributed to small amounts of methanol (or water) remaining in the HBP resulting in a pyridine-assisted methanolysis (or hydrolysis) of the activated nitrophenol unit.
