=Objective= To synthesize three different Ugi adducts following the EXPLAN005. The compounds will contribute toward a library for enoyl reductase inhibitors. =Procedure= Three Ugi reactions were carried out in 1.5 ml eppendorf tubes labeled 1, 2 and 3. The labeled tube 1 contained methanol (500uL), octylamine (0.25mmol, 41.3uL), o-vanillin (0.25mmol, 38.04mg), Boc-Trp-OH (0.25mmol, 76.1mg), and butyl isocyanide (0.25mmol, 26.1uL), added in that order. Tube 2 contained methanol (500uL), octylamine (0.25mmol, 41.3uL), o-vanillin (0.25mmol, 38.04mg), Boc-Trp-OH (0.25mmol, 76.1mg), and 1-pentyl isocyanide (0.25mmol, 31.5uL), added in that order. Last, tube 3 contained methanol (500uL), octylamine (0.25mmol, 41.3uL), o-vanillin (0.25mmol, 38.04mg), Boc-Trp-OH (0.25mmol, 76.1mg), and benzyl isocyanide (0.25mmol, 30.4uL), added in that order. After each addition the solution was vortexed for 15s and made sure a homogeneous solution was obtained. The Eppendorf tubes were left at room temperature. =Results=
