An efficient rhodium-catalyzed synthesis of 2H-azirines and pyrroles has been developed. Novel rearrangement of α-oximino ketenes derived from α-diazo oxime ethers provides 2H-azirines bearing quaternary centers and allows for subsequent rearrangement to highly substituted pyrroles in excellent yields.
