The cascade reactions of 1-arenoylcyclopropanecarboxylic acids with arenes proceed smoothly in freshly distilled HOTf to give the corresponding tetrahydro-5H-benzo[c]fluorene derivatives in good yields along with high stereoselectivities under mild conditions. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

The dianion of cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (2) reacted with alkyl halides and deuterated water at temperatures below 0 deg C; however, self-condensation to the β-keto acid 3 was the only observed product at elevated temperatures.This observation contrasts the self-condensation of the ethyl ester where a trimeric diester alcohol is the product.Attempted mixed condensations of the dianion 2 and carboxylic acids without acidic α-protons did not proceed as well, 3 being the major product.Thermal decarboxylation of 3 did not yield the expected dicyclopropyl ketone; rather , a facile rearrangement in a sealed tube at 120 deg C occured, giving rise to 2-cyclopropyl-4,5-dihydrofuran.This "vinyl-cyclopropyl" type rearrangement does not occur through dicyclopropyl ketone or its enolate.
