44. Note that the rate-limiting step of the insertive mechanism is not identical for the various substrate classes; cyclisation is the rate-limiting event for aminoalkenes/-alkynes (reference 3a,b), whilst for aminoallenes/-dienes protonolysis is turnover limiting (reference 3c,d) A possible explanation for the observed KIE in aminoalkene HA in the context of the Ln-N σ-bond insertive mechanism with turnover-limiting cyclisation is given in reference 2b.

61. 2Lu-amido catalyst (reference 3c), which used a different (BP86) DFT method. The present study can be regarded as being superior, because of the applied state-of-the-art methodology that involves a more consistent treatment of the authentic reaction conditions, together with the usage of the modern, almost nonempirical, well-performing meta-GGA TPSS functional, as detailed in the computational methodology section.
62. Substrate association and dissociation steps are known to be facile in organolanthanide-mediated intramolecular HA. For NMR evidence of rapid association/dissociation of free amine and of amido/amine permutation see reference 2b.

81. -1 (Fig. 10) for the most accessible pathways of the selectivity-determining and turnover-limiting aminolysis that leads to P6s/P6a corresponds to a P6s:P6a ratio of 66:34 (298.15 K) upon application of Stefan-Boltzmann statistics. A more detailed analysis can be found in reference 3c.
