Starting from activated cyclopropanes, heterocyclic and carbocyclic compounds were obtained under mild conditions using Brønsted acid catalysts. Preliminary investigation of the reaction mechanism indicated a stepwise process.Aryl Cyclopropyl KetonesAcidRouteAcylcyclopropanesMechanismAldehydesScopetext::journal::journal article::research article
