The first sulfhydryl-directed iridium-catalyzed C-H/diazo coupling and tandem annulation of naphthalene-1-thiols has been developed. The framework of naphtho[1,8-bc]thiopyrans was constructed in a one-step reaction with good yields. This transformation provides a practical synthetic route for the widely used naphtho[1,8-bc]thiopyran derivatives.
