Abstract

Summary: Amphiphilic‐hyperbranched polyglycidols and a linear analogue were tested for their ability to act as nanoreactors for the unimolecular elimination (E1) reactions of tert‐alkyl iodides. Their encapsulation properties were also compared. The linear polymer was found to have very good “unimolecular reverse micellar” characteristics as well, even though the results showed the advantages of a hyperbranched nature over a linear one. Our results stress the need for a direct comparison of branched and linear polymers for any application.

## Abstract A new hyperbranched poly(phenylene oxide) was synthesized from a simple AB~2~ type monomer, 3,5‐dibromophenol, by Ullmann polycondensation. The bromo‐terminated hyperbranched poly(phenylene oxide) was amorphous (__T__~g~ = 120 °C), but showed high thermal stability (__T__~5d~ = 480 °C i
