Chemistry:Cyclopropylamine
From HandWiki
Cyclopropylamine is the organic compound with the formula C
3H
5NH
2. 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]
- Simeprevir, used to treat hepatitis C infections
- Risdiplam, used to treat spinal muscular atrophy
- ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic.
Cyclopropylamines can be prepared by the Kulinkovich reaction, by dialkylation of bromonitromethane, and various cyclopropanations.[3][4]
