=Objective= To allow the imine reaction of [|tert-butylamine] and[|piperonal] to go to completion in the presence of 3A sieves and then to add [|Boc-Gly-OH] in a 1:1 ration of imine to acid. If very little to none of the imine is pushed back to the aldehyde then [|tert-butyl isocyanide] will be added. This experiment will be compared to Exp048 and Exp051

=Procedure= Solutions of [|piperonal] (603mg, 4.0 mmol in 2 ml MeOH-d4, 2 M) and [|tert-butylamine](420uL, 4.0 mmol in 2 ml MeOH, 2 M) were mixed in presence of 28x 3A sieves(~174mg). H NMR was taken at the start of the reaction and after 14.5hrs. [|Boc-Gly-OH](352mg, 2mmol) was added without the presence of sieves and changes were monitored by H NMR. 800uL of the same acid solution was added with 800uL of the imine solution in the presence of 16x 3A sieves(~100mg) for a little over an hour. 800uL of this solution was added to 800uL of [|tert-butyl isocyanide](226uL, 2mmol). Changes were monitored by HMR.

=Discussion=
 * 1) Using the 9.7 peak for the aldehyde and the peak at 8.4 peak for the imine there is an 81% conversion of the aldehyde to the imine. Using the 1.15 peak for the amine and the 1.29 peak for the imine there is about 72% conversion of the amine after a 14.5 hour period. There is a 5.3% difference in concentration of the amine and aldehyde with an excess of amine after the 14 hour period. These percentages could be an equilibrium point but there is not enough data to determine this.
 * 2) The acid addition solution in part2 that had been mixed together in the presence of activated 3A sieves for an hour had a decrease in imine to 36% compared to the aldehyde.
 * 3) The sieves were tested before introduction into the reaction mixture by putting several in the palm of my hand and adding a few drops of water. The sieves generated ample heat to suggest they were properly activated. However because the mixture was not shaken enough over the 14 hour period the imine was still reverted back to the aldehyde.
 * 4) There are some peak shifts and small new peaks in the final HMR of part4 after the isocyanide was added over 6 days. The excel sheet also shows a peak growing around 5.9ppm which should correspond to the Ugi product. It is also becoming apparent that more peaks appear in the t-butyl region of the spectra. These and other peaks suggest side reactions occured. A [|picture] of a general peak characterization is provided.

=Conclusion= The imine reverted back to the aldehyde due to insufficient removal of water. Sieves should also be added prior to imine formation to remove water already present.

19:00] Prepared 2M solutions of piperonal and tert-butylamine in 2mL volumetric flasks with MeOH-d4. 21:00] Took piperonal HMR 21:10] Took tertbutylamine HMR 21:15] Pipetted 1.6mL of aldehyde with 1.6mL of amine into vial with 28x 3A sieves(174mg) which were activated in a crucible over a Bunsen burner for about 2mins. The concentration of the solutions is approximately 2M however redepositing of the aldehyde on the rim of the vial was observed suggesting that the MeOH-d4 had slighly evaporated. It can not be determined that the same thing happened to the tert-butylamine solution. Nothing was spilled. 21:20]Took 1minute HMR PartI A_06mins. Allowed solution to react over night. Substantial kinetic data will probably not be obtained.
