Synthesis of trans-2-Substituted Cyclopropylamines from α-Chloroaldehydes

Abstract: Cyclopropylamines are prevalent motifs in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Herein, we report the synthesis of trans-2-substituted-cyclopropylamines in high diastereoselectivity from readily available α-chloroaldehydes. The reaction proceeds via trapping of an electrophilic zinc homoenolate with an amine followed by ring-closure to generate the cyclopropylamine product. We have also observed that cis/trans-isomerization of the cyclopropylamine can occur in the presence of zinc halide salts and that this proce… Show more

“…In 2019, our group reported a new strategy for the formation of cyclopropylamines (257), which uses α-chloroaldehydes (255) as the starting materials (Scheme 59). 139 In this protocol, treatment of 255 with bis(iodozincio)methane generates the Zn homoenolate intermediate (256). As an electrophilic Zn homoenolate, this intermediate can be trapped in the same pot with an amine to form the cyclopropylamine (257).…”

“…5 Interestingly, cyclopropylamines could be nicely prepared via trapping a zinc homoenolate intermediate with an amine. 6 In addition to the above-mentioned methods, cyclopropanation of alkenes with carbenoids is a straightforward route to diversely functionalized cyclopropylamines. 7 Surprisingly, the methylene transfer reaction of N -vinylimides is still rare.…”
