Significance
The development of methods for attaching an N-cyclopropyl unit in a molecule is of great importance for current medicinal chemistry. Herein, a simple, convenient and quite versatile method for cyclopropanation of various azoles as well as amides and sulfonamides is described. It uses readily available inexpensive reagents and does not require special precautions like inert atmosphere. The process should be easy to scale up and therefore may find useful applications in industry.
