A metal-free vinylic carbon-hydrogen bond thiolation has been developed. Under the catalysis of iodine (10 mol%), the cyclization of α-alkenoyl ketene dithioacetals afforded a broad range of polyfunctionalized 2-methylene-3-thiophenones in good selectivity with moderate to excellent yields via tandem iodocyclization and dehydroiodination. The synthetic strategy can also be extended to the cyclization of ortho-methylthiophenyl vinyl ketones leading to 2-methylene-3-benzothiophenones.
