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