• basta specimen and resulted in the purification of a new alkaloid that we named, 5-debromopurealidin H (1). Testing of this bromotyrosine-derived natural product along with several related marine metabolites in an in vitro anthelmintic assay showed that five out of nine metabolites, including 5

• ][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
