Mass spectrometry detection of minor new meridianins from the antarctic colonial ascidians Aplidium falklandicum and Aplidium meridianum

Taking into account the broad biological activities found in the meridianin indole alkaloids isolated to date, we have re‐examined the organic extracts of an Antarctic collection of the tunicates Aplidium meridianum and A. falklandicum (Chordata: Ascidiacea) by HPLC in conjunction with a high‐resolution mass spectrometer (HPLC‐MS). A new set of analogs of meridianins A–G has been detected, and their structures are proposed on the basis of the molecular formulae identified by LC‐HRMS analysis using a C18 column with a gradient of water/acetonitrile and an LTQ‐FT‐MS Orbitrap detector. Remarkably, dimers derived from meridianin A and from meridianin B or E were also detected. Our findings provide further evidence of the broad variability within the meridianin‐like derivatives of this highly bioactive alkaloid family. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Iodine‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Spiro[1,3,4‐benzotriazepine‐2,3′‐indole]‐2′,5(1H,1′H)‐diones under Mild Conditions

The I₂‐catalyzed preparation of spiro[1,3,4‐benzotriazepine‐2,3′‐indole]‐2′,5(1H,1′H)‐diones from 2‐aminobenzohydrazide and isatins in MeCN at room temperature in good‐to‐excellent yields is described. The structure of 3 was corroborated spectroscopically (IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR, and EI‐MS data). A plausible mechanism for this type of reaction is proposed (Scheme 2).     

Synthesis of a Benzannulated Pyrrolizidine by a Copper‐Catalyzed Intramolecular α‐Arylation Reaction

A synthetic route to the pyrrolo[1,2‐a]indole ring system (benzannulated pyrrolizidine) involving a base‐induced intramolecular aza‐Michael reaction as the key C? N bond‐forming penultimate step, followed by a Cu‐catalyzed intramolecular α‐arylation reaction, to provide the tricyclic framework over six steps is described.     

Bismuth triflate catalyzed conjugate addition of indoles to α,β-enones

Reaction of indoles with electron deficient olefins under the influence of bismuth triflate has been studied at ambient temperature and affords the corresponding 3-alkylated indoles in excellent yields.     

苯并吲哚三甲川花菁染料的微波合成

以β-萘胺为原料，经重氮化，还原，成环，N-烷基化，缩合5步反应得到目标化合物苯并吲哚三甲川花菁染料，并住部分中间体和目标化合物合成步骤中运用了微波辐射法合成技术．该类化合物通过红外光谱（IR）、核磁共振氢谱（^1H NMR）、紫外可见光谱（UV）进行了表征．结果表明，微波辐射法与传统方法相比，反应时间缩短7．4～47倍，产率提高了5．1％～50．4％．

Two new monoterpenoid indole alkaloids from Tabernaemontana divaricata

Two new monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, tabervarines A (1) and B (2), along with seven known monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, were isolated from the methanol extract of the twigs and leaves of Tabernaemontana divaricata. The structures including the absolute configurations of the new alkaloids were elucidated based on MS, NMR, and ECD calculation. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of the isolated alkaloids against several human cancer cell lines were also evaluated.
