Abstract Unsaturated N ‐sulfonamides undergo a Rh III ‐ catalyzed allylic C(sp 3 )H activation followed by insertion with an exogenous internal alkyne. The reaction generates [3.3.0], [4.3.0], and [5.3.0] azabicyclic structures with excellent diastereoselectivity. Deuterium labeling experiments implicate a 1,3‐Rh shift as a key step in the mechanism.
