== =Objective= To synthesize the [|Ugi product] from [|benzaldehyde], [|5-methylfurfurylamine],[| tert-butyl isocyanide] and [|Boc-Gly-OH] in methanol via a 4CR ugi reaction =Procedure= A solution of [|benzaldehyde] (212 uL, 2 mmol) and [|5-methylfurfurylamine](5-MFA) (244 uL, 2.2 mmol, 10% excess) was made in methanol in a 4mL volumetric flask. The reaction mixture was allowed to sit for about 6 hours without stirring to form the imine. A solution of [|Boc-Gly-OH](350 mg, 2 mmol), and [|tert-butyl isocyanide] (226 uL, 2 mmol) was made up in 4 ml volutmeric flask in methanol. This solution was added to the preformed Imine solution. The reaction mixture was allowed to sit undisturbed overnight, when a crystalline Ugi product was obtained which was filtered and washed with cold methanol. The crystalline product was saved in a vial. =Results= [|H NMR] [|C NMR] [|H NMR] [|C NMR] [|H NMR] [|C NMR] [|H NMR] [|C NMR] [|H NMR] (t = 5 h 44 min) [no deuterated solvent, unlocked]

 * 1) From the 5 h 44 min H NMR of 86A, in undeuterated methanol, it is estimated that all (9.79 ppm) of the aldehyde has been consumed//,// it also appears that all the amine (CH2-4.49 ppm) has also been consumed which is surprising becuase a 10% excess of amine was added to begin with. Therefore it is expected that there should be 10% unreacted amine present in the solution which is not seen in the NMR. This may be because a) either an inaccurate measurement was done when the amine was actually added. b) The NMR is unable to detect it..due to the inhomogenous magnetic field since no deuterated solvent was used.
 * 2) The reaction was monitored without using deuterated methanol, which obscured 3.1-3.4 ppm and 4.6-5.0 ppm ranges in the H NMR spectra. Fortunately it does not appear that any information has been lost because of the solvent peaks, although using CD3OD would have given sharper peaks with a decent looking spectrum.
 * 3) [|86B assignments] (these assignments are similar to that of the ugi product of Exp064 - [|64C]//. **What about the N-H protons?**//
