Abstract: Addition of aliphatic title compounds 2b with 2-methyl allyl Grignard reagent afforded the corresponding carbinols 3b.Catalyzed by BF3 · Et2O, 3b were converted to the arylthio ether 5b via a cyclization-aromatization process.When water or methanol was present in the reaction mixture, 3b were converted to the phenols or arylether 5'b via a substitution-cyclization aromati-zation process under similar conditions as above.The adducts 4 formed by the addition of 2 with magnesium allyl bromide, were converted to the conjugate polyenes 6 under the above conditions either in the presence or in the absence of the nucleophile.The mechanism was discussed according to the effects of different dialkylthio groups to the carbon cation intermediates 12, 13 and 14.
