= = =Objective:=

To monitor the formation of an [|imine] using [|piperonal] and [|5-methylfurfurylamine] in deuterated methanol.

=Procedure:=

In separate one dram vials was added [|piperonal] (0.150g, 1mmol) and [|5-methylfurfurylamine] (111uL, 1 mmol) and diluted to approximately 1mL with deuterated methanol. NMR spectra were taken of the solutions (300 MHz) upon transfer to NMR tubes. The solutions were then combined in a separate vial and allowed to sit for 10 minutes. Spectra was taken of the mixture at evenly spaced intervals. To a separate one dram vial was added [|Boc-Gly-OH] (0.175g, 1 mmol) and diluted to approximately 1mL with deuterated methanol. Spectra were taken of the solution and then it was added to solution of [|piperonal] and [|5-methylfurfurylamine]. Reaction was monitored via NMR during spaced time intervals.

Other Data [|Imine Formation Spreadsheet]

=Discussion:= Based on the integration of the methyl and imine peaks in the NMR, there appears to be a mistake in the molar ratios of the amine and aldehyde (incorrect by a factor of 2). Despite this, the NMR data showed that imine formation was successful approximately three hours after the amine and aldehyde were added. This is significantly faster as compared with performing the experiment in CDCl3 as was done in a previous experiment.

Conclusion:
Imine formation is much faster in a polar solvent.
