Abstract

In this contribution, two methods are presented for the removal of benzyl-type protecting groups attached to the nitrogen atom of 2-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane and 2-azabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane systems. The first, based on the Polonovski reaction, is suitable for [3.1.0] systems. The second relies on an elimination process, starting from derivatives of O-methyl phenylglycinol, and is more general in terms of the substrates tolerated. Secondary bicyclic cyclopropylamines, including enantiomerically pure molecules, can thus be accessed. These compounds are then ready for further functionalisation.
