Structure Elucidation of Compounds 1–3

The HRMS of compound 1 established a molecular formula C₂₀H₁₃N₃O₄ requiring 16 degrees of unsaturation. Compound 1 gave a bluish color on the TLC with FeCl₃ indicating its phenolic nature. Its ¹H NMR spectrum (in methanol-d₄, Table 1) showed resonances for eight aromatic protons ranging from 6.80 to 9.64 ppm, suggesting the absence of any aliphatic moiety in the molecule. The ¹³C NMR spectrum of 1 (Table 1) displayed resonances for 20 carbons including 8 methines and 12 quaternary carbons. Two of the ¹³C quaternary resonances were deshielded at δ 154.3 (C-6) and 153.0 (C-6′) suggesting the oxygenation of their corresponding carbons. Interpretation of the 1D (¹H and ¹³C) and 2D (¹H–¹H COSY, HSQC and HMBC) NMR spectroscopic data supported the presence of two ABX systems for trisubstituted β-carboline (H-5, H-7 and H-8) and disubstituted indole (H-4ʹ, H-5ʹ and H-7ʹ) moieties, respectively. These two moieties include 15 degrees of unsatuartion suggesting the need for an additional degree of unsaturation in 1. Interpretation of the NMR data (¹H, COSY and HSQC) supported the 3,4,6-trisubstitution of the β-carboline moiety. This was evident from the resonating signals at δ 8.07 (1H, d, J = 2.0, H-5), 6.80 (1H, dd, J = 8.5, 2.0, H-7), 7.30 (1H, d, J = 8.5, H-8) and 9.64 (s, H-1). Additional signals at δ 8.87 (1H, s, H-2ʹ), 7.57 (1H, d, J = 8.7, H-4ʹ), 7.13 (1H, dd, J = 8.7, 2.3, H-5ʹ) and 7.60 (1H, d, J = 2.3, H-7ʹ) were assigned as 3,6-disubstituted indole moiety. The HSQC experiment allowed the unambiguous assignment of the protonated methine carbons in 1 (Table 1). The quaternary carbons were unambiguously assigned from HMBC data (Table 2 and Figure 2). For example, the location of the OH moieties at C-6 and C-6′ was supported from HMBC correlations of H-5/C-6, H-7/C-6, H-8/C-6 and H-4′/C-6′, H-5′/C-6′ and H-7′/C-6′ (Table 2). The connection of the indole and β-carboline moieties through C-3 and C-3ʹ was supported from a ³J_CH HMBC cross peak between H-2ʹ of the indole moiety (δ 8.87) and C-3 of the β-carboline moiety (δ 138.1). Finally, the quaternary carbon resonating at δ 173.0 (C-8′) was assigned as a carboxylic moiety at C-4 completing the degrees of unsaturation in 1. This was supported by an IR band at 1725 cm⁻¹ for the carbonyl moiety of the carboxylic acid. Furthermore, the MS fragment ion at m/z 315.1009 with the molecular formula C₁₉H₁₃N₃O₂ [M − COOH + H]⁺ supported the presence of the carboxylic functionality, thus completing the assignment of 1.
Compound 2displayed a pseudomolecular ion peak at m/z 374.1138 corresponding to C₂₁H₁₆N₃O₄ [M + H]⁺, being 14 mass unit (CH₂) more than 1 and requiring 16 degrees of unsaturation. Comparison of the NMR data of 2 with those of 1 showed identical similarity of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR resonances of both compounds (Table 1). Moreover, a new three-proton singlet in ¹H NMR at δ 3.84 (H₃-9ʹ) correlates in the HSQC with the ¹³C NMR signal at δ 55.8 (C-9ʹ) suggesting the presence of a methoxyl moiety in 2 at C-6. The assignment of the methoxyl moiety at C-6 was secured from HMBC cross peak of OCH₃/C-6 (Table 2). Additionally, the unambiguous assignments of the protonated and quaternary carbons in 2 were secured from HSQC and HMBC experiments, respectively, thus completing the assignment of 2.
