TLC at 4.15 pm indicated incomplete conversion to Br derivative. (60% ethyl acetate in hexanes)
Reaction had gone dry overnight - was a thick, sticky residue resembling honey in colour and viscosity.
TLC still indicated incomplete conversion at 9.30 am. Left to stir for a while and TLC'd again at 1.30 pm.
Still incomplete conversion. NMR'd reaction mixture to assess conversion.
Sample is very concentrated but appears to contain both SM (methylene peak around 5 ppm) and product (methylene peak is shifted downfield).
Vial: 15.6106 Full vial: 15.8458 Mass: 235.2
Strong evidence that Br product has formed (methylene peak has shifted from 4.98 to 4.74). Need to confirm by IR and determine an appropriate method for MS.
Flushed with column with 100% ethyl acetate to see what else was left (as SM didn't seem to have come off). Obtained a yellow oil, similar in appearance to KBS23 or KBS28
H NMR was confusing/inconclusive -- while product has a peak at 4.74 and SM at 4.98, the material obtained in the flush had a peak at 4.84. May be due to incorrect referencing?
