Abstract: In this paper, (±)-α-chamigrene-3-one, a spiro-sesquiterpenoid isolated from Marchantia polymorpha, was synthesized via a useful synthon in the synthesis of chamigrene-type sesquiterpenes, i.e., 1,5,5-trimethyl-1-methoxycarbonylspiroundeca -1,8-dien-3-one(6).This precursor was obtained by the de Mayo reaction of terpinolene with methyl 2,4-dioxopentanoate, followed by the retro-aldol rearrangement of the proto-photocyclo-adducts and then Claisen condensation.The title compound was prepared via compound 6 by further transformed by chemical modification at the functional groups

Key words: Spiro-compound, Sesquiterpenoids, (±)-α-Chamigrene, (±)-α-Chamigrene-3-one, Total synthesis
