Iron awe: For the first time, a straightforward reductive amination procedure based on iron catalysts is presented. Excellent performance is demonstrated by a system composed of FeCl 3 and poly(methylhydrosiloxane) as a cheap hydride source under non‐inert conditions. The procedure is also versatile, allowing for the amination of a wide range of substrates in yields up to 99 %.
