Herein, a hydroxyl assisted, photoredox/cobalt co-catalyzed semi-hydrogenation and tandem cyclization of o-alkynylphenols is developed towards direct assembly of 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans. Moderate to good yields were obtained for a range of sterically and electronically diverse 2-propynolphenols under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies demonstrated the inevitable role of the alcoholic hydroxyl group with (Z)-alkene as the real intermediate. Finally, a key low-valent cobalt catalyzed intramolecular hydroetherification of alkene is proposed. (Figure presented.).
