The total synthesis of palau amine and its congeners is currently a major topic in synthetic organic chemistry.[1] So far, none of the research groups involved in the syntheses have managed to reach the complete structure of palauamine. Herein, we present a new congener of palau amine, tetrabromostyloguanidine (1; Scheme 1) which was isolated from the marine sponge Stylissa caribica. In contrast to the relative configuration of the palau amine congeners that have been published, our studies on 1 have revealed a different relative configuration. Dibromopalau amine (2c) was also isolated from the same sponge.Sponges of the families Axinellidae and Dictyonellidae are among the most investigated marine invertebrates,[2] with many secondary metabolites having been isolated and reported from these sponges, especially pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids. Approximately 100 members of this alkaloid family are biosynthetically related to oroidin.[3, 4] The marine sponge Stylissa caribica [5] was studied by using MS-guided fractionation to afford several new pyrrole-imidazole alkaloids: 4-bromopyrrole-2-carboxy-N (ε)-lysine,[6] 4-bromopyrrole-2-carboxyarginine,[6] oxocyclostylidol,[7] and the stylissadines A and B.[8] In the course of this study, a compound with a previously unobserved mass and with a Br4Cl isotopic pattern was detected. We report the isolation and structure elucidation of this new compound 1, with a particular focus on the relative configuration of the azabicyclo [3.3. 0] octane core (Scheme 1).
