A cytotoxic marine alkaloid (鈭?-lepadiformine A (1) possesses a unique structure characterized by the trans-1-azadecalin AB ring system fused with the AC spiro-cyclic ring. In this research, we found that a cycloisomerization reaction from amino ynone 2 to a 1-azaspiro[4.5]decane skeleton 3, corresponding to the AC ring system of 1, is promoted by Hg(OTf)2. Thus, we have accomplished the efficient total synthesis of (鈭?-lepadiformine A in 28% overall yield by featuring the novel Hg(OTf)2-catalyzed cycloisomerization.
