Recent research has been focused on the transition metal-catalyzed reactions. Herein we have developed nickel-catalyzed synthesis of 3-aryl benzofurans from <i>ortho</i>-alkenyl phenols <i>via</i> intramolecular dehydrogenative coupling. Notably, simple O<sub>2</sub> gas served as an oxidant, without using any sacrificial hydrogen acceptor. The strategy enabled the synthesis of 3-aryl benzofurans in good to excellent yields. ...[more]
