Quinidine-catalyzed reaction of indanone carboxylates with vinyl selenone followed by azidation, cyclization, and reduction allows a highly diastereo-and enantioselective access to indenopyrrolidines like (VI) and (IX). In contrast, the synthesis of naphthopyrrolidine derivatives proceeds with poor stereoselectivity. -(STERNATIVO, S.; WALCZAK, O.; BATTISTELLI, B.; TESTAFERRI, L.; MARINI*, F.; Tetrahedron 68 (2012) 51, 10536-10541, http://dx.
