A stereoselective synthesis of a series of fused seven-membered carbocycles was achieved by a formal intramolecular 3 + 4 cycloaddition between vinylcarbenoids, generated by rhodium(II) acetate catalyzed decomposition of vinyldiazomethanes, and dienes.The products are formed by a tandem cyclopropanation/Cope rearrangement sequence rather than a concerted process.
