A direct strategy for the iron‐catalyzed oxidative coupling C 2 ‐functionalization of benzofurans with unactivated diarylmethanes has been established. The developed procedure provides a straightforward access to C 2 ‐benzylation of benzofurans from simple and abundant starting materials without the need for pre‐functionalization or specific substituted functional groups of both, substrates and coupling partners.
