. It is a simple amine derivative of cyclopropane.[1] As a precursor to pesticides and pharmaceuticals, it is produced on a multi-ton scale from the carboxamide.[2] Cycloproylamine is first member of the aminocycloalkanes, which includes cyclobutylamine, cyclopentylamine, and cyclohexylamine.

Cyclopropylamines

Many aminocyclopropanes are known, most prominently the amino acid aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid.

The cyclopropylamine group is featured in several pharmaceutical drugs:[2]

Cyclopropylamines can be prepared by the Kulinkovich reaction, by dialkylation of bromonitromethane, and various cyclopropanations.[3][4]
