An efficient and practical procedure for one-pot assembly of furylated 2-alkenylphenols has been achieved via the Cp*CyRh-catalyzed regioselective redox-neutral C-H activation/5-exo-dig cyclization cascade using N-phenoxyacetamides and enynones as the viable substrates. The synthetic application of such a protocol has also been demonstrated to highlight the versatility of this transformation.
