Abstract

Twelve indole derivatives have been prepared and studied. Five were 1-substituted: 1, methyl; 2, n-hexyl; 3, n-octyl; 4, n-octadecyl; and 5, cholestanyloxycarbonylmethyl. Four were 3-substituted: 6, methyl; 7, n-hexyl; 8, n-octyl; and 9, n-octadecyl. Three were disubstituted as follows: 10, 1-n-decyl-3-n-decyl; 11, 1-methyl-3-n-decyl; and 12, 1, 3-bis (n-octadecyl) indole. Sonication of aqueous suspensions afforded stable aggregates from 3-5 and 8-12. ...
