Abstract

An unprecedented catalyst-free reaction of benzo[b]thiophene-2,3-diones with difluoroenoxysilanes has been developed using either MeOH or H2O as the solvent, which constitutes a facile and efficient protocol for the solvent-controlled divergent synthesis of five- and seven-memberedS-heterocycles featuring agem-difluoromethylene group. A gram-scale synthesis and the diversification of the product transformations to other difluorinatedS-heterocycles further highlight its utility.
