LMGs express their functions by creating three-dimensional supramolecular structures, such as selfassembled fibrous structures, through noncovalent bonds, such as van der Waals interactions, π-π interactions, solvophobic effects, and hydrogen bonding. Various sugar derivatives have been developed as LMGs. D-glucose has been the most well studied among the sugars, and various derivatives have been developed as organogelators. However, synthesizing various organogelators derived from D-glucose inevitably requires multiple steps. This is because the anomeric position of D-glucose can form two stereoisomers, α-and β-forms, and α-methyl glycosylation is often performed first to fix either one of them.
