Methoxycarbonyl-terminated dendrons can be easily prepared up to the third generation by a convergent approach using the Mitsunobu reaction as the bond-forming step. The advantages of this procedure are that the transformation of the alcohol moiety to a leaving group and its nucleophilic displacement are performed in one pot under mild conditions.
