The preparation and optimization of (1R,2S)-2-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-cyclopropylamine were studied.(1R,2S)-2-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-cyclopropylamine was prepared from 3,4-difluoro-bromobenzene via eight steps including Friedel-crafts acylation, stereoselective reduction, cyclization, cyclopropanation, hydrolysis, debromination, amidation and Hoffman elimination.Not only the raw materials and reagents used in the improved process can be found easily in industry, but also the expenses were much lower.It can be found much easier when operating the reaction and purifying and storing the intermediates of each step.The stereo selectivity was higher with fewer wastes, and it was more environmentally friendly.The improved process is more suitable for scale-up of industrial production
