As exemplified by the recent synthesis of (+)-trehazolin 7 by Susumu Ohira of Okayama University of Science (Tetrahedron Lett. 2004,45,7133), caibenes can also be conveniently generated by exposure of ketones such as 4 to lithiated TMS diazomethane. Intramolecular C-H insertion then proceeds with high diastereoselectivity, to give 6, a key intermediate on the way to 7. 

The author thanks Professor Sigeru Torii, Okayama University, who recently wrote Electroorganic Synthesis in which EGA chemistry was also discussed for encouraging him to enter the attractive research area of electroorganic synthesis.
