I was reviewing for an upcoming exam and made up questions for myself to see if I could answer them, and I came up with the following intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction:



Is this reaction possible or is it not? I think that it could be under certain conditions, but I have nothing to base this on.  Help would be appreciated.

That cyclopropyl ring will be very highly strained since the ring forces the bond angles to be 60^o while the sp² carbons that make up the ring would prefer 120^o bond angles.  If this product could form, it would be very unstable and react to form something else fairly quickly.
