=Objective= To check the stability of the furan ring of 5-Methylfurfurylamine in TFA to investigate [|the behavior of furan containing Ugi products].

=Procedure= In an NMR tube 5-methyl furfurylamine (20uL, 0.179mmol, 0.179M) is dissolved in CDCl3 (500uL). An initial HNMR of the solution is obtained on a 300MHz NMR instrument. To the solution in the NMR tube, Trifluroaceticacid (500uL, 50%) is added and the reaction is monitored by NMR. =Results= [|5MFA HNMR] [|40min HNMR] [|2h48min HNMR] [|After 6 days] [|HOMODEC of 73A]
 * 73A**

=Discussion= =Conclusion= After 6 days it is clear that there is nothing happening to the furan ring. The 5-methylfurfurylammonium trifluroracetate is stable and does not lose its furan character or the methyl group in 1:1 TFA/CDCl3. =Log=
 * 1) The methylene group is apparently the quartet at 4.3 ppm with a coupling of 6 Hz. The fact that it is coupling to NH3+ is confirmed by a selective homonuclear decoupling experiment ( HOMODEC of 73A ). This was done by irradiating the NH3+ peak at 7.05 ppm, as a result of which the CH2 quratet collapsed to a singlet
