A base‐catalyzed ring‐opening of 1‐benzylisochromans 1 firstly produced 2‐alkenylstilbenes 2, which then underwent a mild acid‐catalyzed intramolecular cyclization to furnish 1,2‐disubstituted indenes 3 in high yields. Subsequently, a base‐catalyzed isomerization of the 1,2‐disubstituted indenes 3 afforded the more stable 2,3‐disubstituted indenes 4 in almost quantitative yields.
