The first kinetically stabilized azete, the title compound 1, is sensitive toward oxidation (→ formation of the dioxetane 2 ) and undergoes hydrolysis to the β‐imino ketone 3 . Sterically nondemanding cycloaddition partners such as cyclopentadiene or diazomethane (CH 2 N 2 ) (→ formation of the adduct 4 ) attack at C‐2/C‐3, whereas those with bulky groups such as acetylenedicarboxylate esters or tert ‐butylphosphaacetylene (PC t Bu) (→ formation of the bicyclic compound 5 ) react at N‐1/C‐4.
