A π complex of a phosphasilene with the nitrene form of diphenyldiazomethane is the formal description of the azaphosphasiliridine 1 suggested by the X‐ray structure analysis. Compound 1 is the first product of the [2 + 1] cycloaddition of a diazomethane to a (p–p) π bond of heavy main‐group elements whose structure could be completely characterized. Despite its bulky substituents, 1 rearranges by a thermal elimination of N 2 , in which 2 and 3 are intermediates. Surprisingly, it is not the phosphasilirane 3 , but the isomer 4 that is the final product of the thermolysis. Is = 2,4,6‐ i Pr 3 C 6 H 2
