The mechanistic aspects of the hetero Diels–Alder reactions between strongly electrophilic (E)-2-aryl-1-cyano-1-nitroethenes and ethyl vinyl ether have been analyzed on the basis of kinetic experimental results as well as quantum chemical simulations of reaction paths. These reactions may theoretically proceed via one step or stepwise, zwitterionic mechanism. It was found that the conversion of addends into adducts carried out via polar, but not zwitterionic mechanism. This is confirmed by kinetic substituent and solvent effects. Subsequently, a detailed analysis of internal reaction coordinate trajectories shows that the title reactions should be considered as examples of “two-stage one-step” cycloadditions according to Domingo terminology.
