A one‐pot procedure for the synthesis of N ‐substituted 2‐(arylmethyl)pyrrolidines from 1‐aryl‐2‐cyclopropylalkynes and primary amines is presented. The procedure proceeded first through an [Ind 2 TiMe 2 ]‐catalyzed regioselective hydroamination of a 1‐aryl‐2‐cyclopropylalkyne with a primary amine. The resulting cyclopropylimine, which was not isolated, was then forced to undergo a cyclopropylimine rearrangement in the presence of catalytic amounts of NH 4 Cl at 145 °C to deliver the corresponding 2‐pyrroline. A subsequent reduction performed with NaBH 3 CN and ZnCl 2 finally gave the desired N ‐substituted 2‐(arylmethyl)pyrrolidine.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)
