=Objective= To determine the solubility of phenanthrene-9-carboxaldehyde, phenylacetic acid and the Ugi product UCExp176C in ethyl acetate.

=Procedure= Solutions of phenanthrene-9-carboxaldehyde, phenylacetic acid and the Ugi product UCExp176C were prepared in ethylacetate and left in a temperature control bath at 40C for an hour and half. The temperature was then reduced to 25C and the samples were left to equlibrate for another hour. They were then centrifuged and HNMR of the supernatant obtained was used to assess their solubility by the SAMS method.

=Results= [|Spreadsheet ONSCExp165-i] media type="googlespreadsheet" key="t8CmX1yUn_X_NjzUIYzx0sQ" height="400" width="900"

=Discussion= Predicted solubility for the compounds match very closely to measured solubility. Based on predictions made and the promising results from this experiment, there is a real good chance for ethyl acetate to over take methanol as a solvent of choice for the Ugi reactions involving phenanthrene-9-carboxaldehyde and phenylacetic acid Self note: Addition of triethylamine to a solution of a dipeptide in ethyl acetate increases its solubility [Ref 9] //Table ONS165-i:// For predicted solubility* refer to the [|solubility book]
 * **Compound** || **predicted solublity (M)** * || **measured solubility (M)** ||
 * phenanthrene-9-carboxaldehyde || 0.37 || 0.44 ||
 * phenylacetic acid || 3.33 || 3.98 ||
 * Ugi product 176C (UC) || 0.00 || 0.01 ||

=Conclusion= Solubility of phenanthrene-9-carboxaldehyde, phenylacetic acid and the Ugi product 176C (UC) has been determined by the SAMS method.

=Log=

14:20 Powered on the thermostated water/glycol bath and set it to 40C 14:50 Made-up a solution of phenanthrene-9-carboxaldehyde, phenylacetic acid and the Ugi product UCExp176C in ethyl acetate in a three half dram vials. Made sure some solute remained undissolved even after vortexing the solution for 1min at room temp. The vial were labeled, the aldehyde solution **165-1**, acid solution **165-2** and the Ugi product solution **165-3** 15:00 Temp of the water/glycol bath was recorded at 40C 15:05 After parafilming the screw cap vials, placed them in to the water bath at 40C 15:45 Changed the temperature setting on the water bath to 25C. 16:10 Temperature of the bath was recorded at 25C 16:50 Removed the vials from the bath, obtained a picture of them with solid in them and centrifuged the vials. 17:00 Prepared three one dram vials with DMSO-d6 (750uL) in each and labeled them **165-1A, 165-2A and 165-3A** 17:10 Pipetted out approximately 300uL supernatant from vials 165-1 in to 165-1A, 165-2 in to 165-2A, 165-3 in to 165-3A. Vortexed the resulting solutions. Transferred the solutions in to dry NMR tubes. 18:00 Obtained HNMR of the solutions.
