Nosylhydrazones were used as carbene precursors, generating rhodium carbenoid species under basic conditions. These intermediates underwent intramolecular cyclization with ester groups to afford isobenzofurans, which subsequently participated in a highly <i>endo</i>-selective [4 + 2] cycloaddition with maleimides and other dienophiles. The reaction exhibited a broad substrate scope, accommodating various ester and aryl substituents while maintaining excellent regio- and stereoselectivity. Mechanistic studies, including control experiments, NMR analysis, and computational calculations, revealed that the reaction proceeds through a rhodium carbenoid intermediate, leading to the formation of isobenzofuran prior to cycloaddition. The <i>endo</i>-selectivity was found to originate from the difference in activation energies between the transition states, as supported by computational studies. Additionally, the isolation of the diazo intermediate and its direct conversion to isobenzofuran confirmed the stepwise nature of the transformation.
