N-alkylnitrilium hexachloroantimonates 1 react with phenylacetylene (2a) or bis(methylthio)acetylene (2f) to give 3-azonia-2,3,5-hexatriene hexachloroantimonates 4, which either enolize to furnish 4-alkylidene-2-methyl-6-phenyl-3-azonia-2,4-hexadiene salts 7d,e or cyclize to afford 3,4-bis(methylthio)-2H-pyrrolium salts 6f-k.
