The mechanism of copper(I)-catalyzed olefin cyclopropanation with diazomethanes has been studied at the BP86/AE1 level of density-functional theory. For the model system Cu(diazabutadiene) + + ethene + diazomethane, copper carbene complexes are confirmed as viable intermediates, with rate-determinin
