A novel TBAI-catalyzed tandem thio-Michael addition/oxidative annulation of allenes and thioamides for the construction of polysubstituted 2-arylthiophenes under a sulfur migration transformation protocol has been developed. The transition-metal-free protocol achieves the oxidative cyclization reaction of thioamides containing electron-rich substituents with allenes to construct polysubstituted thiophenes selectively by controlling oxidation conditions.
