2,2-Dialkylcyclopropylamines have been prepared by a new synthetic method involving base-induced cyclization of P-chloroimines and subsequent hydrolysis. ... Cyclopropylamines are a well known class of compounds which can be prepared by Hofmann or Curtius rearrangement of the corresponding acid derivatives (cyclopropane carbox- amides and cyclopropane carbonyl azides) and by Beckmann rearrangement of the oximes derived from cyclopropyl ketones. ...
