Alkenes undergo smooth cyclopropanation with ethyl diazoacetate using a catalytic amount of rhodium acetate dimer, Rh 2 (OAc) 4 , immobilized in the air‐ and moisture‐stable 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid, [bmim]PF 6 , to afford cyclopropanecarboxylates in excellent yields with high trans ‐selectivity. The recovery of the catalyst is facilitated by the hydrophobic nature of [bmim]PF 6 . The recovered ionic liquid containing Rh 2 (OAc) 4 can be reused for three to five subsequent runs with only a gradual decrease in activity.
