Abstract

The silica gel promoted or solvent-promoted protonative intramolecular cyclization of ynamides containing an o-(methylthio)aryl group resulted in the one-pot formation of biologically important ­benzo[b]thiophenes. Compared with ynamide activation methods that use strong Brønsted acids or expensive transition metals, this protocol is mild and economical. Due to these merits, various functionalized 2-amidobenzo[b]thiophenes were furnished in a convenient way.
