A visible-light-promoted difluoromethylation/cyclization of 2-vinyloxy arylalkynes was developed, providing a variety of bis(difluoromethyl)-substituted benzofurans in moderate to good yields. A plausible mechanism involving difluoromethyl radical cascade cyclization and solvent-promoted ionic addition was proposed. This protocol has the advantages of having mild reaction conditions, simple operation, and good functional group tolerance.

A Pd-catalyzed difluoroalkylation/cyclization/phosphinoylation of 2-vinyloxy arylalkynes with ethyl difluoroiodoacetate and diarylphosphine oxides has been successfully developed. This reaction allows the formation of C-CF, C-C, and C-P(O) bonds in one step, providing a straightforward route to difluoroalkyl-containing tetrasubstituted alkenylphosphine oxides with complete stereoselectivities under mild conditions.

A visible-light-induced cascade reaction of 2-vinyloxy arylalkynes with thiosulfonates was developed and provided unexpected thio-substituted dibenzofuran derivatives in moderate yields. Mechanistic studies revealed the thiosulfonylation product of 2-vinyloxy arylalkyne was the key intermediate, and the additive disulfide played the role of hydrogen abstraction in the aromatization process to offer the desired product. This reaction presents a new reaction mode for the construction of polycyclic oxygen heterocycles.
