The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

An additive-free and ultrasound assisted approach has been established for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between substituted boronic acid and benzofuran-endowed aryl halides by employing the catalytic amount of Pd(PPh3)4. The resulting substituted biaryls were then employed as efficient starting materials to furnish a novel library of arylated benzofuran-triazole hybrids 13(a-i). The method offers a facile, efficient, non-inert conditions and less-time consuming approach to synthesize the targeted derivatives in good to excellent yield range i.e., 70-92%.
