In this study, the conformation of the amphiphilic lauryl esters of L-tyrosine (LET) and L-phenylalanine (LEP) in water and dimethyl sulfoxide is established. The alkyl chain protons of LEP in D2O appear at delta 1.010-1.398 and show an upheld shift and large line width, suggesting the proximity of the phenyl ring to the alkyl chain in contrast to that of LET. Quite interestingly, in DMSO-d(6), the H-1 NMR spectra of LET and LEP show a strong similarity that is suggestive of an orientation that positions the aromatic ring and aliphatic chain away from each other. These results are substantiated with two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement spectroscopy (2D NOSEY). Theoretical molecular models of the conformation at the interface corroborate the experimental findings. Investigations of the solvent polarity and chemical structure-dependent conformation are discussed.
