Applications of the cascadecyclocarbopalladationreactionfollowed by Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions of the readily available aryl-substituted propargylic aryl ethers with arylboronic acid and potassium trans-β-styryltrifluoroborate accomplish a new versatile entry in the synthesis of benzofuran derivatives. Notably, a new approach to the challenging synthesis of C3 functionalized 2-unsubstituted
