A straightforward access to novel spiro[benzofuran-2,3'-pyrrolidine]-2',5'-diones based on the Rh 2 (esp) 2 -catalyzed insertion of carbenes derived from diazo arylidene succinimides (DAS) into the O-H bond of phenols is described. The initial adducts underwent a thermally promoted Claisen rearrangement followed by DABCO-catalyzed intramolecular 5- exo - trig oxa-Michael addition.
