Single‐site, well‐defined, silica‐supported tantallaaziridine intermediates [≡Si‐O‐Ta(η 2 ‐NRCH 2 )(NMe 2 ) 2 ] [R=Me ( 2 ), Ph ( 3 )] were prepared from silica‐supported tetrakis(dimethylamido)tantalum [≡Si‐O‐Ta(NMe 2 ) 4 ] ( 1 ) and fully characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and 1 H, 13 C HETCOR and DQ TQ solid‐state (SS) NMR spectroscopy. The formation mechanism, by β‐H abstraction, was investigated by SS NMR spectroscopy and supported by DFT calculations. The C−H activation of the dimethylamide ligand is favored for R=Ph. The results from catalytic testing in the hydroaminoalkylation of alkenes were consistent with the N ‐alkyl aryl amine substrates being more efficient than N ‐dialkyl amines.
