Herein we present the use of low catalyst loading of PdCl(C 3 H 5 )dppb (1 mol%) to directly prepare 4‐CHO‐2‐arylbenzofurans by copper‐free tandem Sonogashira coupling‐cyclization under microwave irradiation. The method was utilized to prepare highly substituted analogues of viniferifuran, a biologically active resveratrol dimer. Key transformations included the application of PdCl(C 3 H 5 )dppb (5 mol%) catalyzed direct arylation of C‐3 sterically congested C‐2 and C‐4 substituted benzofuran substrates. Finally, we demonstrated that BCl 3 /TBAI is superior to BBr 3 for final demethylation.
