We report for the first time that the benzofuro[3,2‐ b ]indoline framework could be obtained by PIDA‐mediated direct oxidative coupling of 2,3‐disubstituted‐indoles with phenols. Application of this chemistry allows for an eight‐step total synthesis of phalarine from commercially available tryptamine.
