A new method of preparation of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzothiopyrans (thiochromans) by intermolecular cycloaddition between allylic alcohols or allylic methyl ethers and arenethiols in the presence of zinc iodide was developed. These reactions are assumed to proceed through intermolecular cycloaddition with arenethiols involving allylic cationic intermediates.
