Simple bile acid amide synthesis of lithocholic and deoxycholic acids with 2-aminoethanol and 3-aminopropanol are reported. The structural properties of these amides were examined by NMR spectroscopic, ESI-TOF mass spectral, and X-ray crystallographic methods. The gelation properties of these amides in common organic solvents and in three different water solutions were also investigated using Tyndall effect, SEM, TEM. and optical microscopy. 2-Hydroxyethylamides were found to be effective gelators in chlorinated organic solvents and 3-hydroxypropylamides in aromatic solvents. Both derivatives thicken neutral and acidic water solutions. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
