== =Objective= To cyclize the Ugi product obtained in Exp064 (64C-2) by an acid catalyzed transamidation reaction. =Procedure= Dissolved 55mg (0.109mmol) of the Ugi product 64C-2 from Exp064 in 500uL CDCl3. Then 500uL of trifluoroacetic acid was added to the above solution in the NMR tube (50% solution in CDCl3) and the reaction was monitored by NMR. =Results= [|Ugi Product 64C-2] in CDCl3 (from Exp064) [|Benzylamine] (20uL in 500uL CDCl3) [|Benzylamine/TFA] (20uL/ 500uL in 500uL CDCl3) [clear solution]

 * 70A**

The disappearance of the methyl group at 2.1ppm follows first order kinetics. The rate constant for loss of 2,5-dimethylene-dihyrofuran from the Ugi product was estimated to be 0.9x10 -3 min -1

Over a period of time, the furan system is lost (seen consistently, as in Exp065, Exp067). It is evident from the 70B HNMR that there is hardly anything interesting in the organic layer...the salt was washed away by water. Figure- UCExp070-i -First order kinetics for the furfuryl cleavage of the Ugi product 064C.

=Conclusion= The desired diketopiperazine was not produced and the furan group appears to have reacted in a clean conversion, unknown at this time. The rate constant for the disappearance of methyl at 2.1ppm was estimated to be **[|k = 0.9x10] [|-3] [| min] [|-1] ** This reaction is very similar 1,6-elimination observed in Exp091, where the rate constant was determined to be **[|k = 1.2x10] [|-3] [| min] [|-1] ** =Log=

08:05 Decanted the 70A from the nmr tube in to a clean separatory funnel, rinsed the nmr tube with anhydrous chloroform (3mL), added to the separatory funnel. Added distilled water (5mL) to the separotory funnel, shook the funnel and let the organic layer separate from aqueous layer. Collected the brown bottom organic layer. The bottom layer was washed again with distilled water (5mL). After separation from the aqueous layer, the organic layer was dried using anhydrous MgSO4 (1g), filtered through a fluted filter paper which was futher rinsed with a small amount of anydrous chloroform. 9:10 The collected dry organic layer was set on a high vac to remove the solvent. 9:35 Dissolved the residue collected after vacuum drying (**70B**) in CDCl3 (1mL) and obtained HNMR. =Tags= ugi054:[|InChI=1/C30H37N3O7/c1-20-12-14-23(39-20)19-33(26(34)18-32-29(36)40-30(2,3)4)27(22-13-15-24(37-5)25(16-22)38-6)28(35)31-17-21-10-8-7-9-11-21/h7-16,27H,17-19H2,1-6H3,(H,31,35)(H,32,36)]
