Exp+147

=Objective= To synthesize 4 Ugi products following the EXPLAN005. The compound will contribute towards a library for falcipain-2 inhibitors. These compounds were ranked 1,3,6, and 8 in the [|DEXP014-V2B] file from D-EXP014. = = =Procedure= As described in Explan005 Four Ugi reactions were carried out in vials labeled Exp147-1, Exp 147-2, Exp 147-3, and Exp 147-4. To the first dram vial (147-1) was added methanol (250 ul), 4,7-dimethoxy, 1-naphthaldehyde (0.25mmol, 54.1mg), methylamine(in 2M methanolic solution, yielding 125 ul for 0.25mmol), 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid(0.25mmol, 38.5mg), and tosylmethyl isocyanide (0.25mmol, 38.8mg), in that order. To the second vial (147-2) was added methanol (250 ul), phenanthrene-9-carboxaldehyde (0.25mmol, 51.6mg), methylamine(in 2M methanolic solution, yielding 125 ul for 0.25mmol), 2,4,6 trihydroxybenzoic acid (0.25mmol, 47.0mg), and tosylmethyl isocyanide (0.25mmol, 38.8mg), in that order. To the third vial (147-3) was added methanol (250 ul), 2-naphthaldehyde(0.25 mmol, 39.0 mg), methylamine(in 2M methanolic solution, yielding 125 ul for 0.25mmol),1-pyrenebutyric acid (0.25 mmol, 72.1), and t-butyl isocyanide (0.25 mmol, 28.3 ul), in that order. To the fourth vial (147-4) was added methanol (250 ul), 3,5 dimethoxy benzaldehyde (0.25 mmol, 41.5 mg), methylamine(in 2M methanolic solution, yielding 125 ul for 0.25mmol), 2,4,6 trihydroxybenzoic acid (0.25mmol, 47.0mg), and tosylmethyl isocyanide (0.25mmol, 38.8mg), in that oder. After each addition, the solution was vortexed for 15 or 30 seconds and made sure a homogeneous solution was obtained. The formation or absence of precipitate was noted. The dram vials were left at room temperature.

=Discussion= For Exp 147-2, the peak near 4 indicates an aldehyde functionality, indicating unreacted aldehyde. The peak between 2 and 3 ppm indicates an acid or amine functionality, indicating that there may be unreacted acid or amine in the sample. It appears the same problem of unreacted material is in Exp147-4. For Exp 147-4, the multiplet near 4 ppm indicates an aldehyde functionality. This means there may be a significant amount of unreacted aldehyde in the sample. The peak between 2 and 3 ppm indicates an acid or amine functionality, indicating that there may be unreacted acid or amine in the sample. The problem with Exp 147-2 is that the solid precipitate was having trouble separating from the methanol, indicating the presence of starting materials. So, it is difficult to say now whether this indeed formed precipitate in the first place. For Exp 147-4, the solid sample was able to separate from methanol, but had dissolution problems with the CdCl3. An accurate HNMR is unlikely if there are dissolution problems in the NMR tube.

=Conclusion= The recommendation is for samples 147-2 and 147-4 to be re-prepared in another experiment and subsequently analyzed by HNMR.
