New and easy route to primary cyclopropylamines from nitriles
Philippe Bertus and Jan Szymoniak
Starting from readily available substrates, we have developed a new synthesis of primary cyclopropylamines. The reaction involves a cooperative Ti(II)- and Lewis acid-mediated coupling of alkanenitriles with Grignard reagents.
