Low molecular weight gelators are an interesting new type of compounds that are important in supramolecular chemistry and advanced materials. Previously, we had synthesized several acyl derivatives of methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranoside and found that a number of terminal acetylene-containing esters are good gelators. To understand the structure requirement of the acyl chains, we synthesized a series of analogs containing different functional groups including aryl, alkenyl, and halogen derivatives. X-ray crystal structures of a monoester and a diester derivative were also obtained to help understand the relationship between structure and gelation. For good gelation properties, the carboxyl derivatives should possess alkyl groups containing a terminal acetylene group and aryl derivatives.
