Abstract
The Zn-AcOH reductive system enables a regioselective and rapid ring-opening of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes. 2-(Het)Arylcyclopropane-1,1-diesters as well as donor-acceptor cyclopropanes with other types of electron-withdrawing activating groups provides γ-substituted propyl-1,1-diesters, ketoesters, cyanoesters, cyanoamides, dinitriles, etc., which are not readily accessible with alternative methods.
