56. Formal [3+2] reactivity was observed by the Fokin group in a reaction of the Rh(II)-bound carbenoid derived from 4-phenyl-1-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)-1, 2,3-triazole(9e) and in a recent report by the Davies group in the synthesis of pyrroles from the reaction of 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles with furans.

65. We suspect that a concerted [3+2] cycloaddition would be disfavored due to steric repulsion. A related mechanism was proposed by Fox and co-workers. DeAngelis, A.; Shurtleff, V. W.; Dmitrenko, O.; Fox, J. M. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2011, 133, 1650-1653
