Enhanced metabolic process to indole alkaloids in Clematis terniflora DC. after exposure to high level of UV-B irradiation followed by the dark

TL;DR: Analysis of perturbations in metabolism in these leaves demonstrated that amino acid metabolism was specifically activated by this binary stress, and the metabolic process to indole alkaloids in C. terniflora was enhanced after exposure to high level of UV-B irradiation followed by the dark.

Directing Effects on the Copper-Catalyzed Site-Selective Arylation of Indoles.

TL;DR: Different site selectivities have been reported for indoles with different directing groups in copper-catalyzed site-selective C-H arylations, and a Heck-like mechanism involving a four-membered ring is found in all three of the cases studied.
