Total Synthesis of Ascididemin-Type Alkaloids Using Alkyne Building Blocks
A common approach to ascididemin-type alkaloids, including ascididemin, bromoleptoclinidinone, neocalliactine acetate, and 11-hydroxyascididemin, based on a Bronsted acid-promoted tandem annulation has been developed. Alkyne building blocks were first designed and then employed in alkaloid synthesis; these building blocks can be accessed by a Sonogashira coupling reaction on a multigram scale.
The lake sediments have registered the information of palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironment in the lake itself and the regional scale. This also leads to a complexity in study of the palaeolimnology by all kinds of proxies. How to purify these proxies to indicate the palaeoclimate has become a problem to be solved. Most of the proxies can qualitively identify the percentage of allochthonous and autochthonous organic components, e.g. δ13corg CD/TC. The model introduced in this note has provided a method of quantitatively calculating the amount of allochthonous organic carbon. As for determination of regulating parameters, i.e. A1 and As, further work is still in need.
