22. Typical procedure: A toluene solution of diethylaluminum ethoxide (0.314 M, 0.30 mL) was added to a dry toluene solution (1.5 mL) of 2[G1] (42.9 mg, 0.0944 mmol), and the solution was stirred at room temperature under an argon atmosphere for 2 h to prepare 3[G1] in situ.
23. 1H NMR after removal of toluene in vacuo.
24. Previously reported dendritic initiators acted only as initiator, thus dendrons were located at the initiation turminus: I. D. Mecerreyes, P. Dubois, R. Jerome, J. L. Hedrick, and C. J. Hawker, J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem., 37, 1923 (1999);

26. 7 was added at room temperature under an argon atmosphere. After stirring the resulting mixture for 1.5 h, the ring-opening polymerization was completed (monitored by TLC). After removal of toluene in vacuo, chloroform (5 mL) was added to the polymerization mixture. To methanol (500 mL) the chloroform solution was added dropwise, followed by the addition of 10% methanolic hydrochloric acid (10 mL). The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with a large amount of methanol, and dried at room temperature for 15 h in vacuo (1.017 g).
27. 2 derived from initiator 3 could be easily separated from precipitated polymer mixture by GPC using JAIGEL-2H, 2.5H column.
