• and fauna have evolved over billions of years to survive within this unique environment [1][2], which has led to the production and diversification of unique and novel metabolites with specialised biological functions [3][4]. The richest diversity of marine metabolites are derived from invertebrates

• ][30][31], we became interested to devise a novel and a more versatile route to the central heterocyclic core of these marine metabolites. The method is based on a late-stage diversification strategy involving a Tsuji–Trost reaction of the urea-type joint precursor 5. In contrast to existing routes
