Benzoheteroles are valuable scaffolds in medicinal chemistry, but the direct synthesis of 3-vinyl benzoheterole analogues remains unexplored. A rationally designed new class of 1,6-enyne-containing propargylic alcohols has been prepared for the modular synthesis of 3-alkenyl benzoheteroles. Ag-catalyzed cascade radical sulfonylative-cycloannulation of 1,6-enynols with sodium sulfinates is realized to access a wide variety of 2,3-disubstituted benzoheteroles in good to high yields. Moreover, a three-component coupling of 1,6-enynols, aryldiazonium salts, and Na 2 S 2 O 5 (as an SO 2 surrogate) has been achieved to deliver benzoheterole derivatives in moderate to good yields. Of note, a scalable reaction and late-stage synthetic transformations were successfully demonstrated. A plausible mechanism is also presented based on the existing experimental results and control experiments.
