Abstract

The observation that 2-phenylcyclopropylaminel (tranylcypromine) is a potent2 and selectiveS inhibitor of monoamine oxidase led us to experiments directed towards the synthesis of homologous alicyclic amines for comparative biological testing. We are reporting the synthesis of 3-phenylcyclobutylamine, as well as a few reactions of phenylcyclobutane derivatives prepared in this connection.
