Synthesis and Properties of Liquid Crystalline Organogelators with Cholesteryl 4-(4'-Alkoxybenzoylamino)benzoates
As a new liquid-crystalline organogelator, cholesteryl 4-(4'-alkoxybenzoylamino)benzoates were prepared. Cholesteryl 4(4'-alkoxybenzoylamino)benzoates had enantiotropic cholesteric and chiral smectic C phases. Furthermore, cholesteryl 4-(4'-alkoxybenzoylamino)benzoate gelled organic liquid such as decane, n-hexadecene, 1-butanol, 1-hexanol, 1-decanol, toluene, salad oil, linalool, geraniol, nerol, citronellol, limonene, linalyl acetate, lavender oil, orange oil, and lemon oil. The terpene gels show good release of the volatile components for a long period.
