One-pot cross-metathesis/tandem carbonyl ylide formation-intramolecular cycloaddition of an unsaturated 2-diazo-3,6-diketoester.

Dicarbonyl-stabilised diazo functionality is tolerated during alkene cross-metathesis using Grubbs' catalyst, but undergoes subsequent tandem carbonyl ylide formation-intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition on addition of catalytic Rh2(OAc)4 in a one-pot operation.
