Abstract
Abstract3-Substituted benzothiophenyl analogues of tertiary cis-β-benzylstyrenes undergo triflic acid catalyzed dearomative spirocyclization at room temperature to afford compounds containing vicinal quaternary centers. Hydroarylation of the styrene is a competing process that occurs preferentially within substrates possessing electron-rich styrenyl alkenes, or an indole in place of the benzothiophene.
