Abstract An intermolecular addition reaction involving an unconventional combination of a diarylmethyl anion and electrophile, which is mediated by the [1,2]‐phospha‐Brook rearrangement under Brønsted base catalysis, was developed. Diarylmethyl anions having benzofuran moiety were generated through with aid catalytic amount phosphazene P2‐ t Bu. The resulting carbanion intermediates trapped various electrophiles, such as α,β‐unsaturated ketones, aryl aldehydes, α‐ketoesters, N ‐Boc imines, providing corresponding diarylalkane derivatives in good yields.
