A sulfur-mediated electrophilic cyclization reaction of aryl-tethered internal alkynes has been developed. Triflic anhydride-activated sulfoxides induced the electrophilic cyclization and then demethylation with triethylamine in one pot, affording 3-sulfenyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalenes and related types of products in yields of ≤96%.
