Abstract

[GRAPHICS] Commercially available Ti(NMe2)(4) has been used effectively as a precatalyst in a facile protocol for the intramolecular hydroamination of aminoalkenes to yield pyrrolidine and piperidine heterocyclic products with isolated yields up to 92%. Germinally substituted substrates display the highest reactivity. This precatalyst is also effective for the hydroamination of activated internal alkenes, providing access to more complex heterocyclic target molecules.
