56. The authors are thankful to a reviewer for suggesting this pathway.
57. The ability of allylsilanes to act as either two-or three-atom components in formal dipolar cycloaddition is well precedented. It is, however, noteworthy that the versatility of the quinoneimine and the multiple reaction profiles they elicit are predicated by the availability of different nucleophilic sites and the possibility of tautomerization.
