One-step synthesis of 2,3-dihydronaphtho[2,3-b]thiophene-4,9-diones by a new regioselective [3 + 2] photoaddition of photogenerated 2-mercapto-1,4-naphthoquinone with alkenes

Abstract
2,3-Dihydronaphtho[2,3-b]thiophene-4,9-diones are formed in one-step reactions in 6–41 % yields by an unprecedented regioselective (3 + 2] photoaddition of 2-mercapto-1,4-naphthoquinone, generated by the photochemical decarbonylation of 5-hydroxynaphth[2,1-d]-1,3-oxathiol-2-one, with alkenes.
