✦ Synopsis

Mixing SmI 2 and NaN(TMS) 2 generates in situ an efficient catalyst that promotes the intramolecular hydroamination of non-activated olefins. A wide range of aminoolefins can be cyclised smoothly using this simple protocol. Mechanistic studies led to the identification of the putative active catalyst.
