The isolable zwitterions 2 and the tetrahydrotetrazines 3 are formed in the 1,3 ‐dipolar cycloadditions of R 3 N 3 to 1 . It has been established X‐ray crystallo‐graphically that a strong steric hindrance is responsible for ring closure between the very close centers of opposite charge being difficult in 2 (R 1 = H, R 2 = t Bu = Mes). A detailed investigation of the reactions clearly confirms that the zwitterions 2 are actually the intermediates of a non‐concerted cycloaddition (R 1 = H. Me; R 2 = Me, t Bu; R 3 = (NO 2 ) 3 C 6 H 2 , p ‐Tos, Mes).
