A novel copper(I)-catalyzed chemoselective reduction of the carbonyls of benzofuran-2-yl ketones over furan rings with B2pin2 has been developed. This reaction proceeded under mild conditions. High valuable secondary alcohol derivatives of benzofurans were obtained in good to excellent yields with a broad substrate scope. The mechanistic studies suggested that a domino-borylation-protodeboronation pathway was involved in this reaction.

The naturally occurring aurones (2-benzylidene-3(2H)-benzofuran-3-ones) can be easily converted to another class of natural products 2-benzoylbenzo[b] furans, via an effective reduction, acid-mediated rearrangement, and oxidation cascade. This easy conver
