A reversal in the position of the keto/enol equilibrium through one‐electron oxidationa —a phenomenon already observed in the gas phase—has now also been verified in solution. The Δ G ° values ( 1 ˙⊕ → 2 ˙⊕ ) for the two enols 1 (R = t Bu, H) are −17.7 and −25.7 kcal mol −1 . Benzofurans 2 are obtained as reaction products from the radical cations in over 80% yield.
