This paper reports the synthesis and self-assembling properties of 6-O-hexadecyl- and 6-O-octylsucroses. Mono-etherification of 2,3,4,1',3',4'-hexa-O-benzylsucrose with the corresponding alkyl bromides predominantly took place at the glucose 6-position and the products were isolated by silica gel column chromatography. Benzyl groups in the isolated products were cleaved to yield the target derivatives. The SEM, TEM, XRD, and DLS results indicated that 6-O-alkylsucroses formed vesicle-type particles via formation of lamellar-like planes under aqueous conditions, which were further merged by fusion of the planes to construct larger aggregates. The self-assembling properties of the materials were different from those of the previously reported 6-O- and 6'-O-hexadecylsucroses mixture.
