Brønsted Acid-Catalyzed Stereospecific Dearomative Spirocyclization of Benzothiophenyl Analogues of Tertiary cis-β-Benzylstyrenes

Abstract

3-Substituted benzothiophenyl analogues of tertiary cis-β-benzylstyrenes undergo triflic acid-catalyzed dearomative spirocyclization to afford vicinal quaternary center-containing compounds at room temperature. Hydroarylation of the styrene is a competing process that could be selected for in substrates possessing electron-rich styrenyl alkenes, or an indole in place of the benzothiophene.
