A facile and highly chemoselective synthesis of doubly activated cyclopropanes is reported where mixtures of alkenes and β-dicarbonyl-derived iodoniumylides are irradiated with light from blue LEDs. This metal-free synthesis gives cyclopropanes in yields up to 96 %, is operative with cyclic and acyclic ylides, and proceeds with a variety of electronically-diverse alkenes.
