Copper- or rhodium-catalyzed reactions of diazocarbonyl compounds with beta-hydroxyketones give highly substituted tetrahydrofurans with excellent diastereoselectivity. Under mild conditions, the single-step process starts as a carbene O-H insertion reaction, but is diverted by an intramolecular aldol reaction.
