Polar cycloadditions, in which one of the reacting partners is ionic, are less common than cycloadditions involving uncharged or dipolar components, but often occur more readily.[1] For example, whereas [4+ 2] cycloaddition reactions that involve styrene subunits as the 4π component generally require reactive dienophiles or harsh reaction conditions to proceed,[2] the Povarov reaction, which is the stepwise [3][4È+ 2] cycloaddition of N-aryliminium ions with electronrich olefins, occurs readily at or below room temperature.[4, 5] The charge that is present in the ionic partner of polar cycloadditions is often due to the presence of a heteroatom and these systems can provide useful routes to heterocyclic products,[1a] which are prevalent scaffolds in biologically active molecules.[6] Although uncharged heteroallenes have been used extensively in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds,[7] cationic heteroallenes have received less attention. To this end, we have been exploring the use of 1-aza-2-azoniaallene cations (eg 2, Scheme1) in intramolecular reactions as a means of preparing a variety of aza-heterocycles. Herein we report our discovery that aryl-1-aza-2-azoniaallene cations can react by an unprecedented intramolecular [4È+ 2] cycloaddition with pendant alkenes wherein the azo bond and one aromatic π bond make up the 4π component.1-Aza-2-azoniaallene cations are known to react by several different pathways, thus leading to a variety of products. For example, these species can add nucleophiles at the carbon atom to provide azo products,[8] can undergo 3, 3-sigmatropic rearrangements,[9] and can react in stereospecific
