A reviewer proposed the use of the term [3+2] cycloaddition for this type of reaction because it is more precise than annulation, and could be in agreement with the IUPAC definition for cycloaddition: "A reaction in which two or more unsaturated molecules (or parts of the same molecule) combine with the formation of a cyclic adduct in which there is a net reduction of the bond multiplicity." Nevertheless, other authors do not agree that cycloaddition is completely correct in this case (see reference [2b]). According to a seminal publication by Huisgen, "Cycloaddition reactions do not involve the cleavage of sigma bonds" (rule 3)
