Construction of the Azacyclic Core of Tabernaemontanine-Related Alkaloids via Tandem Reformatsky-Aza-Claisen Rearrangement
TL;DR: The synthetic route features practical improvements in the Pictet-Spengler cyclization for the tetrahydro-β-carboline intermediate and an unprecedented tandem Reformatsky-aza-Claisen rearrangement to create the core carbon skeleton and stereochemistries of tabernaemontanine-related alkaloids.

Problem of Applying Sodium Selenate to Increase Selenium Concentration in Grassland Plants in Southern Belgium
TL;DR: In a survey of grasslands, mean selenium (Se) concentration in Holcus lanatus was 83 μg kg−1 (less than 100 μg kg −1, the minimal concentration protecting mammals from deficiency disorders) as discussed by the authors.
