A new catalytic route to cyclopropanes from alkenes and diazolakanes is provided by pentacarbonyl(η 2 ‐ cis ‐cyclooctene)chromium(0), which generates the catalyst “Cr(CO) 5 ”. The reactions (1) are characterized by a pronounced chemoselectivity of the participating carbene complex intermediates 1 and allow the unambiguous discrimination of diversely substituted olefins.
