Abstract
A Cu-catalyzed aminoboration of 1-methylenecyclopropanes with bis(pinacolato)diboron and O-benzoyl-N,N-dialkylhydroxylamines has been developed. The Cu catalysis provides a rapid and concise access to (borylmethyl)cyclopropylamines in a highly regio- and diastereoselective manner. The products obtained can be useful building blocks for the synthesis of potential antidepressants, trans-2-arylcyclopropylamine derivatives.
