Provided are: a compound that thickens or gelatinizes a fluid organic substance to a desired viscosity, or uniformly stabilizes a composition containing the fluid organic substance; a thickening/stabilizing agent including the compound; a thickened/stabilized composition including the thickening/stabilizing agent and a fluid organic substance; and a method for producing a thickened/stabilized composition. The compound according to the present invention is represented by Formula (1):(R&#x2014;HNOC)&#x2014;R&#x2014;(CONH&#x2014;R)&#x2003;&#x2003;(1)where Ris a group resulting from removing four hydrogen atoms from the structural formula of benzene; Rand Rare different from each other and are each independently an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 6 or more carbon atoms; and n represents an integer of 1 to 3.

Thickening stabilizer and thickening/stabilizing composition using the same

Provided is a compound which thickens or gels a fluid organic material to a desired viscosity, or which uniformly stabilizes the formulation of a composition containing the fluid organic material. The compound according to the present invention is represented by Formula (1):R&#x2014;(CONH&#x2014;R)&#x2003;&#x2003;(1)where Rrepresents an n-valent aromatic hydrocarbon group containing two or more benzene rings; Rrepresents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group containing 6 or more carbon atoms; and n represents an integer of 4 or more. The group Ris preferably a group corresponding to an aromatic hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of benzophenone, biphenyl, and naphthalene, except for removing hydrogen atoms in a number of n from the aromatic hydrocarbon. A thickening/stabilizing agent according to the present invention includes the compound.
