The continuous flow telescoped synthesis of 1,1-cyclopropane aminoketones was achieved by optimizing the photocyclization of 1,2-diketones to 2-hydroxycylobutanones (HCBs) and their reaction with aryl- and alkylamines, via tandem condensation C4-C3-ring contraction reaction. With the achieved operational conditions, we were able to obtain a library of cyclopropylamines with good chemical yields, high productivity, and short residence times.
