87. 3+ ion size and skeletal substrate substitutions, however, have been reported to have a significant influence on the turnover-limiting barrier (see refs. [9c,21b]) which can likely be supposed for other steps as well. Accordingly, the computationally predicted energy profiles for the IHC of 4,5-heptadien-1-ylamine and (4E,6)-heptadien-1-amine cannot be compared directly in a strict sense. Turnover frequencies of the same magnitude have been measured for the IHC of 1,3-disubstituted aminoallene catalyzed by Lu- and La-based systems, such that a semiquantitative comparison of the energetics for the two substrates seems to be suitable.

92. The located adduct species 3″-S is characterized by only a weak amidoallene - Ln chelating interaction (cf. Figure S3).
93. 8-methyl substituent by a hydrogen atom, is restricted to the intramolecular cyclization step. The complete catalytic cycle for the IHC of 1x in the presence of precatalyst 2 will be reported elsewhere.
94. b) Under identical reaction conditions, as for substrate 1 (see ref. [9c]), a 10:90 ratio of 5-exo-(2-vinylpyrrolidine)/6-endo-(2- methyltetrahydropyridine) products is observed for the IHC of 1x in the presence of 2 (see ref. [9a,c]).
95. Substrate adducts 4-S with a disrupted azacycle - Lu interaction are energetically unfavorable. For more details see the Supporting Information.
96. 7 carbon of 5 is predicted to be kinetically less likely than the path commencing from 5′ (see Table S2 and Figure S5 of the Supporting Information).
97. 3-allylic - Lu interaction in Ss′-S remains essentially intact (see Figure S6 of the Supporting Information).

The reader is referred to Baldwin's rules for ring closure which predict both exo- and endocyclic paths to be favorable for aminoallenes, while for aminodienes only the exocyclic path is predicted to be favorable.
