Chromium-catalyzed cyclopropanation of alkenes with bromoform was achieved to produce the corresponding bromocyclopropanes. In this catalytic cyclopropanation, an organosilicon reductant, 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-dihydropyrazine (<b>1a</b>), was indispensable for reducing CrCl<sub>3</sub>(thf)<sub>3</sub> to CrCl<sub>2</sub>(thf)<sub>3</sub>, as well as for <i>in situ</i> generation of (bromomethylidene)chromium(iii) species from (dibromomethyl)chromium(iii) species.
