Fruits of the laboratory : Dendrimers containing up to six different functional groups can be prepared in multistep one‐pot reactions by using a selective manipulation and deprotection strategy (see example). The authors call these multifunctional dendrimers molecular fruit‐salad trees; they could function as useful building blocks for drug‐delivery systems and novel materials.
