On heating in toluene, 4,4-disubstituted 1,3-thiazol-5(4H)-thiones 1 and acetylenecarboxylates or acetylenecarbonitriles 2 undergo a cyclosubstitution reaction to yield 2-methylidene-1,3-dithiol derivatives 3 (1,4-dithiafulvenes) and a nitrile.Further heating of 3a and 3b in the presence of excess 2a leads to the isomeric 2,3-dihydrothiophene-2-thiones 4a and 4b, respectively.The benzodithiafulvene 14 has been formed in a similar reaction from 1a and in situ generated benzyne.

Thiophene-based rings are one of the most widely used building blocks for the synthesis of sulfur-containing molecules. Inspired by the redox diversity of these features in nature, we demonstrate herein a redox-divergent construction of dihydrothiophenes, thiophenes, and bromothiophenes from the respective readily available allylic alcohols, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and HBr. The redox-divergent selectivity could be manipulated mainly by controlling the dosage of DMSO and HBr. Mechanistic studies suggest that DMSO simultaneously acts as an oxidant and a sulfur donor. The synthetic potentials of the products as platform molecules were also demonstrated by various derivatizations, including the preparation of bioactive and functional molecules.
Access to Substituted Thiophenes through Xanthate-Mediated Vinyl C(sp2)-Br Bond Cleavage and Heterocyclization of Bromoenynes

An environmentally sustainable strategy for the chemoselective heterocyclization of bromoenynes through a transition-metal-free sulfuration/cyclization process is reported. Using inexpensive and safe EtOCS2K as a thiol surrogate and tetrabutylphosphonium bromide and H2O as a mixed solvent, the reaction provided a range of substituted thiophenes in moderate to good yields. In addition, 2,3,4,5-tetrasubstituted thiophenes were able to be prepared under mild reaction conditions by electrophilic heterocyclization with NH4I and EtOCS2K in good yields.
