Cyclopropylamine is the organic compound with the formula C3H5NH2. It is a simple amine derivative of cyclopropane. As a precursor to pesticides and pharmaceuticals, it is produced on a multi-ton scale from the carboxamide. Cycloproylamine is first member of the aminocycloalkanes, which includes cyclobutylamine, cyclopentylamine, and cyclohexylamine.
