Dependence of noncovalent interactions of benzene and adenine rings on distance between them in adenylyl-(5' yields N)-omega-arylalkylamines.

A series of adenylyl-(5' yields N)-omega-arylalkylamines, containing from one to six methylene groups in the amino component, was studied by methods of nuclear magnetic resonance and circular dichroism. It was shown that independently of the length of the aliphatic chain of the amine convergence of the adenine and benzene rings and a hydrophobic interaction between them occur. The plane of the benzene ring is inclined toward the adenine ring, which has an anticonformation relative to the ribose.
