We present a synthetic protocol for the construction of polysubstituted five-membered heterocycles via TMSOTf-catalyzed formal [3+2] cycloaddition of electron-rich alkynes, which features free from any metal, atom economy and water as the main by-product. Furthermore, alkenyl ether adduct has been verified as the key intermediate. Notably, by utilizing this approach, we can synthesize a broad range of polysubstituted furans, thiophenes and pyrroles, and extend this transformation to deliver fused-polyheterocycles. This reaction can be achieved on a gram scale and the corresponding products are intermediates for producing diverse potentially useful scaffolds. (Figure presented.).
