The pyrrole‐imidazole alkaloid dibromophakellstatin ( 1 ) from the marine sponge Phakellia mauritiana was synthesized in only five steps starting from L ‐prolinol. The key step of the synthesis is the direct annulation of the imidazolinone ring to a pyrrolopyrazinone precursor by employing an ethoxycarbonylnitrene generated in situ. Samarium diiodide proved to be the best choice for the chemoselective, stepwise deprotection of the resulting tetracycle. Ts=toluenesulfonyl.
