Abstract

A one-pot synthesis of various GABA amides has been demostrated, employing the nucleophilic addition of primary and secondary amines across the double bond of cyclopropene-3-carboxamides, followed by ring-opening of the resulting donor–acceptor cyclopropanes and subsequent in situ reduction of enamine (imine) intermediates.
