A new method for alkaloid synthesis is described. The rhodium(II)‐acetate‐catalyzed decomposition of 3‐(4‐acetoxyphenyl)‐1‐diazo‐4‐(pyrrol‐1‐yl)‐2‐butanone ( 5d ) gave 6‐(4‐acetoxyphenyl)‐5,6‐dihydro‐7(8 H )‐indolizinone ( 6d ) in 82% yield via an intramolecular carbenoid reaction. The latter compound was converted in four steps in 13% overall yield to (±)‐ipalbidine ( 1b ).
