Abstract
A mild, metal-free and base-promoted thioannulation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates of acetylenic aldehydes with potassium thioacetate to yield substituted thiophenes involves a tandem allylic substitution/deacetylative 5-exo-dig-thiocycloisomerization. The obtained products provide an entry to 4H-thieno[3,2-c]chromene and thieno[3,2-c]dihydroquinoline.
