The multicomponent 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of different 1,2‐diaza‐1,3‐dienes with in‐situ‐generated azomethine ylides produces 1,2,4‐triazepines or pyrrolidines by [3+4] or [3+2] cycloadditions, respectively. The regioselectivity is controlled by the electron‐withdrawing group bound to the azo moiety of the 1,2‐diaza‐1,3‐diene, which promotes exclusively the [3+4] cycloaddition. When the electron‐withdrawing group is replaced with a phenyl group, only a [3+2] cycloaddition occurs.
