The ester enolate of the siloxycyclopropanecarboxylate 1 reacts with CS 2 and methyl iodide to give a ring‐expanded dihydrothiophene derivative, which, via Lewis acid‐induced shifting of an alkyl group, gives the thiophene 2 . The reaction can be extended to analogues of 1 ; the OSi(CH 3 ) 3 group, however, is indispensable.
