Just add water! The title reaction is catalyzed by an acridine‐based pincer complex ( 1 , see scheme). This one‐step transformation uses water as the only reagent in the absence of additional bases, oxidants, or reductants. Cyclization of 1,4‐diaminobutane and 1,6‐diaminohexane catalyzed by 1 leads to the formation of pyrrolidine and azepane, respectively.
