A stereospecific synthesis of both enantiomers of the marine alkaloid eudistomin X using the amino acid chiral pool is achieved. Comparison of (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shifts of the synthetic product as either the free base, mono-salt or disalt with those reported for the natural product established that the ascidian metabolite was originally characterised as a mono-salt and that the absolute configuration was (10R).
