Synthesis of N-Cinnamoyl dipeptide esters and investigation of their self-assembly leading to Nanorods formation

Abstract

Synthesis of novel N-cinnamoyl dipeptide esters have been carried out under solution phase conditions. The synthesized compounds have been characterized by IR, NMR and mass spectrometry. These compounds readily self-assemble to form nanorods. Their morphology have been studied using SEM and TEM.
