Abstract

One measure of a group's 'anchoring potential' 13 could be obtained by evaluating amphiphiles in which indole served as headgroup. 14 We felt that the loss of the NH residue resulting from N-alkylation of indole constituted a stringent test of the potential for this group to function as an anchor. We thus prepared several N-alkylindoles and assessed their ability to form aggregates. When the alkyl chains were of sufficient length, N-alkylindoles formed stable ...
