2-Cyclopropylbenzimidazole derivatives with various substituents in the small ring undergo cyclopropyliminium rearrangement into 2,3- dihydropyrrolobenzimidazoles substituted at positions 1, 2 or 3. The substrates containing a functional group in position 1 of the cyclopropane ring form products substituted at position 3. Substituents at position 2 in most cases lead to the formation of a mixture of isomers. The reaction can be directed to yield one of the isomers predominantly by varying the solvent polarity.
Stereochemical studies on the reactions catalyzed by the PLP-dependent enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase

The stereochemical course of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase which catalyzes the fragmentation of the cyclopropane substrate to alpha -ketobutyrate and ammonia has been unraveled with the help of substrates stereospecifically labeled with deuterium and/or tritium, and this has afforded important information about the process occurring at the active site during enzymatic conversion.
