== =Objective= To cyclize the Ugi product obtained in Exp064 (64C-2) by an acid catalyzed transamidation reaction.

=Procedure= Dissolved 55mg (0.1mmol) of the Ugi product 64C-2 from Exp064 in 900uL CDCl3, obtained an HNMR. Then 100uL of trifluoroacetic acid was added to the above solution in the NMR tube (10% solution in CDCl3). The reaction was continuously monitored by NMR spectroscopy.

=Results= //Reactants in CDCl3// [|Ugi Product 64C-2] in CDCl3 [|TFA in CDCl3] (100uL / 900uL - 10% ; densities of CDCl3 and TFA are similar)

Figure - Exp067-i
 * 1) The loss of the boc group proceeds smoothly at a rate of 1.22x10 -2 min -1 It can be followed by monitoring the disappearance of the 1.42 ppm peak (Fig Exp067-i).
 * 2) The compound does not cyclize under the given conditions. There is a furfuryl cleavage that occurs, possibly as a result of an elimination similar to 1,6-Hoffman elimination reaction. The coupling constant of the doublets at 8.27 ppm and 5.54 ppm is 7.3Hz. Peak at 8.27ppm corresponds to the hydrogen on N and the double at 5.54ppm is the chiral proton
 * 3) From Exp068 it is evident that there is a removal of t-butyl group from the Ugi product by the addition of TFA (10%) This occurs in about 5h. This is also explained in this [|reference].
 * 4) After 74h 27min, from the HNMR it still is not clear if a 2,5 diketopiperazine is formed or not, this may be due to the mere fact that the peaks of the cyclized product may be overlapping with the uncyclized salt and other side products..
 * 5) It does not appear valuable to continue this experiment any further because of the evaporation of the solvent during heating, and any further addition of TFA may render it unreproducible. Therefore this experiment will be aborted and yet another attempt at cyclization will be Exp070.
 * 6) The coupling constant of the doublets at 8.27 ppm and 5.54 ppm is 7.3Hz

=Conclusion= A salt of TFA was produced. Heating evaporated TFA and CDCl3, hence this was experiment aborted. The Ugi product undergoes a methyl fufuryl loss after an initial boc deprotection. Kinetics of N-boc deprotection was determined successfully. Kinetics for the 5-methyl furfuryl cleavage has also been determined successfully. =Log=
