A cascade of tetrahydrofurans : A one‐pot cascade reaction for the preparation of fully substituted tetrahydrofurans from aryldiazoacetates and allyl alcohols is reported. Rh‐catalyzed diazo decomposition of diazoacetates 1 with a secondary alcohols 2 gave an OH insertion product with excellent diastereoselectivity. Subsequent intramolecular Michael‐type addition produced the desired tetrahydrofurans 3 with excellent stereoselective control.
