  "abstract": "It was found that the reaction of dimethyl 2-arylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylates with benzene in the presence of two equivalents of AlCl3 at room temperature (23 o C) for 1 h leads to the selective opening of the three-membered ring with the formation of dimethyl 2-(2-aryl-2-phenylethyl)malonates in high yields (89-94%). The developed method demonstrates high tolerance toward both electron-donating (4-Me) and electron-withdrawing (4-Cl) substituents on the aryl ring of the starting cyclopropane, providing a simple and effective route to the synthesis of substituted malonates.",
