| Abstract: | The gelation ability of diterpenes was investigated by applying aromatic linker steroid strategy. Four new mono (1) and bis-urea (2–4) derivatives of dehydroabietylamine (DAA) (a tricyclic diterpene amine) were synthesized on reaction of respective isocyanates with DAA and characterized through spectroscopic data. Three of these (1, 2, and 4) were obtained as low-molecular-weight organogelators that can form thermally reversible organogels. Supplementary materials are available for this article.
