The use of divergent strategies is a fruitful approach for the synthesis of phosphorus-containing dendrons (dendritic wedges). Different synthetic processes have been devised, depending on the type of function located at the core (alkenyl groups, pyridine derivatives, chloromethyl or azidomethyl groups). In all cases, the divergent strategy easily allows one to have very reactive functional groups such as P–Cl, amine, phosphine or aldehyde groups on the surface of the dendron.
