A synthetic method for ethyl 4‐(alkyl or arylsulfonamido)‐2‐naphthoates from ethyl ( E )‐α‐ethynyl‐β‐aryl‐α,β‐unsaturated esters ( 1 ) and N ‐sulfonyl azides ( 2 ) in the presence of 2,6‐lutidine in THF at 60 °C for 3 h was developed in one step, in which a copper(I)‐catalyzed 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition, ketenimine formation, and 6π‐electrocyclization followed by [1,3]‐H shift tandem reaction took place. This method enabled efficient synthesis of a wide range of 1‐aminonaphthalene and 3‐aminobenzofuran and 3‐aminobenzothiophene derivatives with the release of molecular nitrogen.
