The new L ‐lysine alkali‐metal salts 1 – 5 (M + =Na + and K + ) with different alkyl groups at the N α ‐position were easily synthesized, and their hydro‐ and organogelation properties were investigated. All compounds were H 2 O‐soluble, and some salts, especially the potassium salts, functioned as a hydrogenator that could gel water below 2 wt‐%. These salts also had organogelation abilities for many organic solvents.
