vinyldiazomethanes 3 in the presence of furans resulted in the formation of a series of 3-trifluoromethylated 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octa-2,6-dienes. The 4-substituent on the vinyldiazomethanes had great effects on the product distribution and the stereo- and regiochemistry of the [3+4] annulation products. The rhodium(II) acetate catalyzed reaction of 4-carbonyl substituted vinyldiazomethanes 3a–c with furans resulted
