trans,trans-1-(Aminomethyl)-2-methoxy-3-phenylcyclopropane (3) was synthesized in three steps from (Z)-beta-methoxystyrene and ethyl diazoacetate. Compound 3 was shown to be a substrate and inactivator of mitochondrial beef liver monoamine oxidase (MAO) with a partition ratio of 1428. MAO-catalyzed oxidation of 3 produces
Calcium metal in liquid ammonia for selective reduction of organic compounds.
