Abstract
We present here our results on the electrophilic cyclization reaction of 3‐alkynylthiophenes with different electrophiles such as I~2~, ICl, and PhSeBr. The cyclization reaction proceeded cleanly under mild reaction conditions, giving fused 4‐iodoselenophene[2,3‐b]thiophenes in excellent yields. In addition, the obtained chalcogenophenes were readily transformed into more complex products through palladium‐ or copper‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions with thiols, boronic acids, and organozinc reagents.
