=**The Exothermic Explanation of Experiment 88**=



In the reaction between Boc Glycine and 5-methylfurfurylamine, the reaction tube becomes warm as the reaction occurs as noted here. This increase in warmth can be attributed to the fact that this is an acid-base reaction. [|Neutralization] is an exothermic reaction most of the time and can explain the increase in warmth. Boc-Glycine is the acid while 5-methylfurfurylamine is the base. The following mechanism is what happens during the reaction: The mechanism in this reaction is similar to an Sn2 reaction.
