A convenient synthesis of 4,5‐disubstituted 2 H ‐thiopyran 1,1‐dioxides is reported through a base induced process starting from eneyne sulfones. Except for strongly electron‐withdrawing groups, the reaction tolerated a wide variety of substituents in the two aryl rings. This finding represents a major departure from the behaviour of the corresponding ethers. The reaction most probably proceeds through a 6π‐electrocyclization from an in‐situ‐generated 1,3,5‐trienyl sulfinate.
