Triarylaminium salts smoothly catalyze the cyclopropanation of dienes, styrenes and tetrasubstituted alkenes by ethyl diazoacetate. The reactions are regioselective and, in the case of additions to conjugated dienes, cyclopropane‐periselective. A cation radical chain mechanism involving carbene transfer from ethyl diazoacetate to a substrate cation radical is proposed.
