## Abstract The treatment of Nβbenzylideneaniline (**__1a__**) with a halfβequivalent of lanthanum metal and a catalytic amount of iodine gave the reductive dimerization product of **__1a__**, a vicβdiamine, in good yield. Various vicβdiamines were synthesized from aldimines in this manner in moder
