The triaziridine 2 could be prepared from 1 in a two‐photon process at 10–85 K. One‐photon excitation does not alter the azimine 1 . Probably 1 is first transformed into an excited state with real 1,3‐dipolar character, from which it then cyclizes within a pulse duration of 14ns by taking up a second photon. 2 is completely reconverted into 1 at 150 K. The back reaction proceeds photochemically in 65% yield.
