5. Diluted reaction with NH4Cl (10 mL) and water (40 mL).
6. Extracted with toluene (4 x 25 mL)
7. Washed with H2O (5 x 75 mL)
8. Washed with brine (100 mL)
9. Dried over MgSO4 and rotovapped

NMR

Product appears to still be a combination of mono/bis propargylated hexadiamine. Probably need to column manually to determine percentage yield.

Performed a manual column to isolate mono and bis products. Used ~ 10 cm silica (possibly too much) and accidentally disturbed column bed part of the way through, possibly disrupting flow.

Column conditions:
50 mL 5:95 EtOAc/pet benzine
75 mL 6.7:93.3 EtOAc/pet benzine
100 mL 10:90 EtOAc/pet benzine
200 mL 20:80 EtOAc/pet benzine
50 mL 30:70 EtOAc/pet benzine

TLC's indicated bis product in fractions 18, 19, 20 and 22, 23, 24. Mono product appeared to be in fractions 26 - 35 but some SM was evident from fraction 29 onwards.

Note that M and D refer to references standards of mono-substituted and double-substituted products respectively, obtained from Nick Smith

Collected fractions 18 - 20 and 22 - 24 (believed to be bis product).

Empty vial: 16.1803
Full vial: 16.2002 g
Mass: 19.9 mg

H NMR

1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 4.02 (4H), 3.30 (4H), 2.18 (2H), 1.54 (4H), 1.47 (18H), 1.31 (4H).

Mysterious peak at 9.16 - seems like solvent (clean singlet, integrates to 0.43). There also appears to be water in the sample resulting in an increased integral at 1.54 (should be 4H but shows up as ~ 7H).

During the column, very faint signs of product could be seen in some fractions before F18. These weren't collected as the signal was so faint, however, collecting them may increase yield.
