A copper‐mediated synthesis of 2,3‐disubstituted benzofurans with the assistance of an 8‐aminoquinolyl auxiliary is described from readily available benzamides and benzoylacetonitriles. In this reaction, the C−C bond is successfully constructed viaC−H activation, and C−O bond is subsequently formed at the original position of the amide group in a one‐pot manner. The amide directinggroup is detached
