Reaction of aryl- and benzylsulfanopyridinium amidates bearing a methyl group in position 6 with 2 equiv of diphenylketene afforded a spiro-fused ring system: azoniabenzo[de]fluorine. By use of an excess amount of ketene, a distinct reaction was observed via which a 1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridin-2(3H)-one derivative was furnished. The structure of the tetracyclic spiro-fused ring system was unambiguously confirmed by X-ray diffraction, and its formation was rationalized by DFT calculations.
