An efficient, transition metal‐free procedure for the cyclopropanation of alkenes using malononitrile and the LiI‐ t BuOCl combination under mild reaction conditions is described. The reaction mechanism most likely involves t BuOI generated in situ from LiI and t BuOCl. The utility of this new methodology has been demonstrated by the synthesis of a potential HIV‐1 RT inhibitor.
