Organogels of Lignin-derived Stable Metabolic Intermediate, 2-Pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylic Acid (PDC), Bearing Cholesteryl Groups
The organogelation behavior of a lignin-derived stable metabolic intermediate bearing two cholesteryl groups was examined for the first time, and it was found that the carbamate spacers possessing a hydrogen-bonding ability are essential for gelation of aliphatic or aromatic organic solvents.
