摘要

An iodine-promoted sunlight-induced olefin Z/E isomerization reaction together with a palladium-catalyzed direct cross-coupling reaction of a drimanal hydrazone and an iodobenzaldehyde, without touching the aromatic aldehyde group, facilitated a divergent and expeditious access to bioactive marine natural products siphonodictyal B, corallidictyals C/D, and liphagal based on the early presence of an aldehyde group instead of a late-stage introduction.
