Abstract

This work reports the synthesis of new fatty N-acylamino acids and N-acylamino esters from the C16: 0, C18: 0, C18: 1, and C18: 1 (OH) fatty acid families and demonstrates the activity of these compounds as organogel agents. Compounds were heated and dissolved in various solvents (n-hexane, toluene, and gasoline). Only saturated C16: 0 and C18: 0 derived from alanine were able to form gels in toluene, and saturated C16: 0 derived from ...
