Abstract
A series of experiments involving the synthesis and characterization of a stilbene–cholesterol derivative and its gelation ability in different organic solvents is reported. The experiments are designed for implementation in a one-semester course of advanced organic chemistry laboratory with an emphasis on interdisciplinary subjects such as physical organic chemistry and analytical instrumentation. The laboratory sequence provides students with hands-on experience with many techniques necessary to perform sensitive multistep organic synthesis, as well as the opportunity to obtain and interpret NMR, GCM–S, UV–vis, and fluorescence spectra.
Supplement
Detailed experimental instructions for the synthesis of the gelator and notes for the instructor, including a laboratory schedule, are available.
