Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The functionalization of aryl and heteroaryls using α‐carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides without the help of a directing group has remained so far a neglected area, despite the advantageous safety profile of sulfoxonium ylides. Described herein are the cyclizations of α‐carbonyl sulfoxonium ylides onto benzenes, benzofurans and <jats:italic>N</jats:italic>‐<jats:italic>p</jats:italic>‐toluenesulfonyl indoles in the presence of a base in HFIP, whereas pyrroles and <jats:italic>N</jats:italic>‐methyl indoles undergo cyclization in the presence of an iridium catalyst. Significantly, these two sets of conditions are chemospecific for each groups of substrates.</jats:p>
