Against conventional wisdom , the rhodium(II)‐catalyzed nontemplated macrocyclization of four separate components in one reaction vessel became more efficient as the concentration was increased. Thus, α‐diazo‐β‐ketoesters underwent condensation with 1,4‐dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, or tetrahydropyran as the solvent to yield 16‐ to 18‐membered polyether macrocycles in up to 75 % yield (see scheme; R=Me, Et, PhCH 2 CH 2 , allyl, PhCHCH 2 ).
