Expanding the gelation properties of valine-based 3,5-diaminobenzoate organogelators with N-alkylurea functionalities

A new family of valine-containing 3,5-diaminobenzoate derivatives 2 with N-alkylurea moieties attached to the valine moieties was prepared. By appending these two new N-alkylurea chains to the molecular structure, their organogelating properties were extended from only aromatic solvents, to a wide r...
