A concise total synthesis of the thiazole-thiazoline based metabolite (-)-didehydromirabazole A (2), a cytotoxic alkaloid isolated recently from the blue-green alga Scytonema mirabile, is described which uses sequential cyclocondensation reactions with methyl (R)-2-methylcysteine hydrochloride (5) as key steps, viz 6 → 7 and 10 → 11.
