**Furufyl Cleavage (2007-03-08)**
= =



=Objective= To cyclize a [|Ugi product] to form a [|diketopiperazine] via a [|boc-deprotected intermediate]. This [|Ugi product] was synthesized here.

=Procedure:= Prepared 10% TFA solution by adding 100uL TFA to 1mL volumetric flask. Diluted to mark with deuterated chloroform. Took NMR spectra. Added 50mg Ugi Product (62E) to NMR tube and monitored reaction via NMR spectra at specific intervals.

=Results:=

[|HNMR]

=Discussion:= 1. Over time the furan protons are disappearing. 2. After the water wash, the NMR of the organic layer shows no evidence that the Ugi Product cyclized. 3. The doublets at 8.39 ppm and 5.41 (T=1wk [|HNMR]) point towards a clear **'Furfuryl cleavage**'. This is the **first time** this type of cleavage has ever been observed in 10% TFA in CDCl3. This is clearly seen in the HNMR of the sample in TFA at room temperature after one week- **Khalid**

=Conclusion:=

Fufuryl cleavage observed for the first time. The Ugi Product did not cyclize.

12:13 Added contents of NMR tube to 5 dram vial. Rinsed NMR tube twice with 2mL chloroform. Added 5mL of distilled water to vial. Shook vigorously and allowed organic and water layer to separate. Removed water layer. Washed twice more. 13:25 Added 0.5g magnesium sulfate to organic layer. 13:34 Placed cotton inside a 9" Pasteur pipet. Added organic layer to round bottom flask. Evaporated off solvent. 14:51 Added 1mL deuterated chloroform and placed solution in an NMR tube. Took NMR 65D. =Tags= [|Ugiproduct][|InChI=1/C26H35N3O7/c1-16-8-10-18(35-16)14-29(21(30)13-27-24(32)36-26(5,6)7)22(23(31)28-25(2,3)4)17-9-11-19-20(12-17)34-15-33-19/h8-12,22H,13-15H2,1-7H3,(H,27,32)(H,28,31)] DKP065 [|InChI=1/C17H16N2O5/c1-10-2-4-12(24-10)8-19-15(20)7-18-17(21)16(19)11-3-5-13-14(6-11)23-9-22-13/h2-6,16H,7-9H2,1H3,(H,18,21)]
