Stereoselective synthesis of highly substituted tetrahydrofurans by diverted carbene O–H insertion reaction

Copper or rhodium catalyzed reaction of diazocarbonyl compounds with β-hydroxyketones gives highly substituted tetrahydrofurans with excellent diastereoselectivity, under mild conditions, in a single step process that starts as a carbene O–H insertion reaction but is diverted by an intramolecular al...
