✦ Synopsis

Three monomeric and three dimeric deoxycholic acid (DCA) alkylamido-phenylurea derivatives are designed based on known gelators and are synthesized and characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, ESI-TOF mass spectrometry, and elemental analyses. Among them, a monomeric derivative forms supramolecular gels in CHCl 3 and chlorobenzene, whereas a dimeric derivative gels THF and higher 1-alkanols containing 7-10 carbons. The morphologies of their xerogels are studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). No signature of macroscopic chirality of the gels is visible.
