A straightforward protocol has been developed to access thio‐/selenopyrrolines through a (3+2)‐cycloaddition of aryl thio‐/selenocyanates with donor‐acceptor cyclopropanes (DACs) in the presence of SnCl 4 as a Lewis acid catalyst. Further, good chemoselectivity was observed when DACs were treated with 3‐cyano phenyl thiocyanate. These results suggest that thiocyanate is more reactive than nitrile moiety in such (3+2)‐cycloaddition reactions.
