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]
