Description

O-tert-Butyl-D-tyrosine is an organogelator. It is a low molecular weight organic liquid that can form a gel when mixed with a solvent. O-tert-Butyl-D-tyrosine is soluble in hydrophobic solvents such as butanol, and insoluble in water. The gelation properties of this substance are due to its ability to interact with the surface of the solvent droplet and form a network that holds other solute molecules in place. This interaction is called physisorption, which means that it does not need any chemical bonds to form the gel. Gels formed by O-tert-Butyl-D-tyrosine are stable at room temperature, but will melt when heated or exposed to pH extremes.
