A method for the synthesis of 1-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethane-1,2-diamines, key synthetic precursors of a number of marine alkaloids, has been developed based on the reduction of adducts of O-benzylhydroxylamine and N-protected 3-(2-nitrovinyl)indoles. For the first time, the total synthesis of 6',6''-didebromohamacanthin B, 6'-debromohamacanthin B, and 6''-debromohamacanthin B, the secondary metabolites of the sponges Spongosorites and Discodermia calyx, was carried out.
