The syntheses of novel amphiphilic 5,5′,6,6′-tetrachlorobenzimidacarbocyanine (TBC) dye derivatives with aminopropanediol head groups, which only differ in stereochem. (chiral enantiomers, meso form and conformer), are reported. For the achiral meso form, a new synthetic route towards asym. cyanine dyes was established. All compounds form J aggregates in water, the optical properties of which were characterized by means of spectroscopic methods. The supramol. structure of the aggregates is investigated by means of cryo-transmission electron microscopy, cryo-electron tomog. and AFM, revealing extended sheet-like aggregates for chiral enantiomers and nanotubes for the mesomer, resp., whereas the conformer forms predominately needle-like crystals. The experiments demonstrate that the aggregation behavior of compounds can be controlled solely by head group stereochem., which in the case of enantiomers enables the formation of extended hydrogen-bond chains by the hydroxyl functionalities. In case of the achiral meso form, however, such chains turned out to be sterically excluded. In the experiment, the researchers used Ethyl 4-bromobutyrate(cas: 2969-81-5Computed Properties of C6H11BrO2)
Ethyl 4-bromobutyrate(cas: 2969-81-5) belongs to bromides. Most organobromine compounds, like most organohalide compounds, are relatively nonpolar. Bromine is more electronegative than carbon (2.9 vs 2.5). Consequently, the carbon in a carbon–bromine bond is electrophilic, i.e. alkyl bromides are alkylating agents.Computed Properties of C6H11BrO2
