A new general access to A‐ring aromatic strigolactones, a new class of plant hormones, has been developed. The key transformations include in sequence ring‐closing metathesis, enzymatic kinetic resolution and a radical cyclization with atom transfer to install the tricyclic ABC‐ring system. The activity as plant hormones for the inhibition of shoot branching in pea of various analogues synthesized by this strategy is reported.
