A rhodium‐catalyzed direct alkenylation of 1‐(methylthio)naphthalene has been developed using a thioether directing group. The reaction proceeds selectively at the peri ‐position of the naphthalene ring with no competing ortho C−H activation. Both alkynes and alkenes can be used as the coupling counterparts. The alkenylated products with alkynes can be converted to benzo[ de ]thiochromenes by an iodine mediated cyclization method.
