Abstract
A visible-light-induced [3+2] oxidative cyclization of various alkynes with easily available ketene dithioacetals as thiavinyl 1,3-dipoles provides multisubstituted thiophenes in good yields under very mild metal-free conditions in the presence of an acridine photosensitizer. This reaction tolerates a wide range of substrates and achieves good efficiency in large-scale syntheses.
