Abstract A system for the synthesis of α-alkylidene-γ-butyrolactones via a one-pot C-H insertion/olefination sequence is described. The process is based on the rhodium catalysed C-H insertion reaction of α-diazo-α-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acetates. The mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity and ready availability of starting materials are all key features. A wide range of successful reaction systems are reported (41 examples) highlighting the generality of the method. The application of this method in the total synthesis of the natural products (±)-cedarmycins A and B is also described.
