A novel iodine-catalyzed method for the synthesis of benzothiophene derivatives through cascadereactions of substituted thiophenols with alkynes has been demonstrated under metal- and solvent-freeconditions. The present protocol uses inexpensive and environmentally friendly molecular iodine as the catalyst, and the corresponding products are obtained in moderate to excellent yields. Such an efficient

An effective metal-free photoredox-mediated tandem addition/cyclization reaction of thiophenols or 1,2-diphenyldiselane with alkynes leads to 2,3-disubstituted benzothiophenes and benzoselenophenes. Blue light irradiation of the organic dye, Mes-Acr-Me+, initiates the photoredox catalysis. A series of functional groups could be tolerated under ambient conditions, and good to excellent yields were generated. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

An intermolecular oxidative cyclization between thiophenols and alkynes for benzothiophene formation has been established. A variety of multifunctional benzothiophenes are synthesized. In addition, we demonstrated that the obtained benzothiophenes can be used for further transformation to give diverse benzothiophene derivatives efficiently and selectively.
