Exp119

=Objective= To synthesize two different Ugi adducts following the EXPLAN005. The compounds will contribute toward a library for enoyl reductase inhibitors. =Procedure= Two ugi reactions were carried out in 1.5 ml eppendorf tubes labeled EP1 and EP2. The EP1 labeled tube contained methanol (500uL), furfurlyamine (0.5mmol, 44.2uL), 2-naphthaldehyde (0.5mmol, 78.09mg), formic acid (0.53mmol, 20uL), and benzyl isocyanide, added in that order. In EP2 tube, methanol (500uL), methylamine (2.0M solution in methanol, 0.5mmol, 250uL), o-tolualdehyde (0.5mmol, 57.8uL), acetic acid (0.5mmol, 28.62uL), and p-toluenesulforylmethyl isocyanide (0.5mmol, 97.6mg) were 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= 11.7mg, white powder
 * 119A**

== [|HNMR]

=Discussion= A ugi product with methylamine, o-tolualdehyde, acetic acid and p-toluenesulforylmethyl isocyanide did not crystallize. That may be because the product a) has high solubility in methanol b) was never formed or c) may only have been formed in traces which are not isolable. The solid which came from EP1 was formed using Benzyl isocyanide and other components. Peaks in the HNMR of the solid 119A does not show it to be a clean Ugi product. Apart from regions which could possibly be assigned to the Ugi product, there are peaks in the spectrum which should not have been in the spectrum for the compound (singlet 1.2-2 ppm, a large peak at in the cluster between 4.45-4.5ppm).

=Conclusion= Only one of the reactions yielded a solid product. =Log=
