Yuremamine is aphytoindolealkaloid which was isolated from the bark ofMimosa tenuiflora in 2005, and erroneously assigned a pyrrolo[1,2-a]indole structure that was thought to represent a new class ofindole alkaloids.[2] However, in 2015, the bioinspired total synthesis of yuremamine revealed its structure to be aflavonoid derivative.[3] It was also noted in the original isolation of yuremamine that the alkaloid occurs naturally as a purple solid, but total synthesis revealed that yuremamine as afree base is colorless, and the formation of atrifluoroacetate salt duringHPLC purification is what led to the purple appearance.[3]
