This paper describes the Brønsted acid mediated reaction of methylenecyclopropanes with various arenes to give the corresponding double Friedel–Crafts reaction products (cyclized products) under mild conditions. A plausible reaction mechanism is discussed on the basis of deuterium labeling and control experiments. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
