Abstract
A rhodium-catalyzed transannulation of 1,2,3-thiadiazoles with aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic alkenes enables a regioselective synthesis of a wide range of dihydrothiophenes. A subsequent addition of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) provides thiophenes. The present method offers broad substrate scope, wide functional group compatibility, and high regioselectivity.
