The arylative cyclization of o-(1-alkynyl)thioanisoles with aryl iodides in the presence of catalytic amounts of [Pd(phen)2][PF6]2resulted in the efficient formation of 3-arylated benzo[b]thiophenes, and a range of aryl iodides with electron-donating or -withdrawing groups could be used. While this reaction proceeded in the presence of aromatic and aliphatic groups on the terminal alkynyl carbon atom, silyl and alkoxycarbonyl groups hampered the reaction. Furthermore, this method could be extended to the synthesis of 3-arylated indoles from N,N-dimethyl-o-(1-alkynyl)aniline. All these reactions proceeded smoothly via cleavage of the carbon-heteroatom bond. In addition to the desired cyclization products, the use of a o-(hydroxypropyl)phenylmethyl substituent on the sulfur atom afforded isochroman, which should be formed by the intramolecular attack of a hydroxy group onto the benzylic carbon atom.

The known thermal extrusion of Ph3PO from α-acyl-α-ethoxycarbonyl ylides 1 to give acetylenic esters 2 can be accomplished in excellent yield by using flash vacuum (FVP) at 500 deg C.Upon rasing the furnace temperature to 750 deg C, this reaction is accompanied by unexpected loss of the ethoxycarbonyl group to give the terminal alkynes 7 in moderate yield.A mechanism is proposed for this reaction based on isotopic labelling studies.Ten new examples of ylides 1 have been prepared for the first time.
