Treatment of benzofurans with bis(pinacolato)diboron and Cs2CO3 under nickel-NHC catalysis resulted in the insertion of a boron atom into the C2-O bond of benzofurans to afford the corresponding oxaborins. The scope of benzofuran substrates is wide, and the reactions proceeded without loss of functional groups such as fluoro, methoxy, and ester that are potentially reactive under nickel catalysis. The boron-inserted products proved to be useful building blocks and subsequently underwent a series of transformations, one of which led to the synthesis of fluorescent π-expanded oxaborins.

Indium(III) halides catalyze the hydroalkoxylation reaction of ortho-alkynylphenols to afford benzo[b]furans in good yields. The reaction proceeds with 5-endo-dig regioselectivity with a variety of phenols functionalized at the arene and alkyne moieties in high yields using InI3 (5 mol %) in DCE. Experimental and computational studies support a mechanism based on the indium(III) π-Lewis acid activation of the alkyne followed by nucleophilic addition of the phenol and final protodemetalation to afford the corresponding benzo[b]furan. DFT calculations suggest that dimer In2I6 is the catalytic species through a novel double coordination with the alkyne and the hydroxyl group.

A copper(II) acetate/(R)-DTBM-SEGPHOS-catalyzed ring opening of benzofurans and enantioselective hydroamination cascade with dimethoxymethylsilane (DMMS) and hydroxylamine esters is described. Starting from readily available substituted benzofurans, a series of chiral N,N-dibenzylaminophenols, which are of high interest in pharmaceutical chemistry, were obtained with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 66 % yield, 94 % ee).
