A NiCl2(PEt3)2‐catalyzed regioselective C−Hcoupling of 8‐aminoquinoline‐derived benzamides with oxetanes has been developed. The reaction proceeds with concomitant removal of the 8‐aminoquinoline auxiliary to directly form the corresponding seven‐memberedbenzolactones, which frequently occur in natural products and bioactive molecules. Additionally, no stereochemical erosion is observed during the
