A visible-light-induced cascade reaction of 2-vinyloxy arylalkynes with thiosulfonates was developed, yielding unexpected thio-substituted dibenzofuran derivatives in moderate yields. Mechanistic studies revealed the key intermediate in this reaction and the role of the additive disulfide in the aromatization process, presenting a new reaction mode for the construction of polycyclic oxygen heterocycles.
A visible-light-induced cascade reaction of 2-vinyloxy arylalkynes with thiosulfonates was developed and provided unexpected thio-substituted dibenzofuran derivatives in moderate yields. Mechanistic studies revealed the thiosulfonylation product of 2-vinyloxy arylalkyne was the key intermediate, and the additive disulfide played the role of hydrogen abstraction in the aromatization process to offer the desired product. This reaction presents a new reaction mode for the construction of polycyclic oxygen heterocycles.
