Functionalized 2,2-disubstituted benzofuran-3-(2H)-ones have been synthesized from simple aldehyde building blocks in a combined NHC- and base-catalyzed one-pot cascade reaction in moderate to excellent yields. This modular approach comprises a NHC-catalyzed hydroacylation/Stetter reaction sequence followed by a retro-Michael, 1,3-H shift and oxa-Michael cascade rearrangement promoted by strong bases.
