The continuous flow telescoped synthesis of 1,1-cyclopropane aminoketones was achieved through the optimization of the photocyclization of 1,2-diketones to 2-hydroxycyclobutanones (HCBs), followed by their reaction with aryl- and alkylamines via a tandem condensation C4–C3 ring contraction reaction. Under the optimized operational conditions, a library of cyclopropylamines was obtained with good chemical yields, high productivity, and short residence times.
