Two distinct triplet in 1H NMR spectrum, suggesting differing terminal functional groups. ESI(+)MS showed an intense ion at 397 m/z, 18 units higher than the corresponding ion in thiocyanatin A. This data is consistent with addition of H2O to one of the terminal thiocyanate groups in thiocyanatin A to give a thiocarbamate.

Conclusion
Novel pyridine alkaloids were isolated and structures were determined by spectroscopic methods
Synthesis of marine natural products thiocyanatins A, B&C was completed. The structure of new thiocyanatin containing a thiocarbamate functional group was confirmed by preparation of bis-thiocarbamates. Synthesis of thiocyantin analogues and structural activity relationship studies indicated thiocyantin A was in fact the most active compound, in which the secondary alcohol and both of the terminal thiocyanate groups are important pharmacophor for nematicidal activity.
