^aAll compounds were tested starting from 20 mg/mL. G, stable gel at rt and G* partial gel or unstable gel at 20 mg/mL; the numbers next to “G” are MGCs in mg/mL; P, precipitation; S, soluble; and I, insoluble. All gels were opaque except those labeled. The subscribed letters denote the gel appearances: C, clear or transparent and T, translucent; all compounds were insoluble in hexane, except compound 15, which formed a precipitate.
