A new methodology for the synthesis of N-haloindole-fused dihydrothiopyrano derivatives via (3 + 3)-annulation of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) with indoline-2-thiones in the presence of Sc(OTf)3 as a Lewis acid catalyst has been developed. This protocol provides a variety of indole-fused dihydrothiopyrano molecules in good to excellent yields, which architecturally resemble other indole-fused tricyclic molecules having potential medicinal value. In addition, we have described a detailed reaction mechanism and transformation of the furnished product into N-fused thiazino indole molecule.
