A stereospecific synthesis of the tetrahydro-2 H -indeno[1,2- b ]furan skeleton, which is embedded in bioactive aromatic strigolactones such as GR24, is realized by a nickel-mediated tandem cross-coupling for the first time. The observed cis -stereoselectivity during the intramolecular formation of the Csp 3 –Csp 2 bond is rationalized through conformation analysis and DFT calculations.
