A new approach to the preparation of tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans through a photoredox catalytic process is described. The introduction of a phenylsulfanyl auxiliary group permits the substrates to be readily oxidized to form cationic intermediates for sequential intramolecular cyclization. The method features mild reaction conditions and operational simplicity.

Benzylthioethers react with internal alkynes in the presence of catalytic amounts of [Ru(cymene)Cl2]2 to give the corresponding ortho-alkenylated species, using sulfur as the sole directing group. The reaction is regiospecific, tolerates different substituents at both the sulfur and the aryl ring, and proceeds very efficiently with a large variety of electron-rich alkynes.
