    We report a facile approach to a cyclopropyl-fused pyrrolidine, which contains four stereogenic centers, by employing the N–O tethered carbenoid methodology. The synthesis was facilitated by the development of a direct Mitsunobu reaction of alcohols with <i>N</i>-alkyl-<i>N</i>-hydroxyl amides to give diazo precursors, which upon intramolecular cyclopropanation yielded a library of N–O containing cyclopropyl-fused bicyclic intermediates. Elaboration of the N–O moiety of one member of this library resulted in the formation of the desired pyrrolidine ring demonstrating the potential of this methodology for making cyclopropyl-fused heterocycles
