Synthesis of per-deuterated alkyl amines for the preparation of deuterated organic pyromellitamide gelators
摘要:
A general, direct and scalable synthesis of per-deuterated alkyl amines is reported, together with their incorporation into pyromellitamides, which form self-assembled gels in cyclohexane. The deuterium labelling of these gelators allows the study of the dynamic intermolecular interactions in these materials using solid-state H-2 NMR spectroscopy.
