The first examples of titanium-catalyzed hydroaminoalkylation reactions of ethylene with secondary amines are presented. The reactions can be achieved with various titanium catalysts and they do not require the use of high pressure equipment. In addition, the first solid-state structure of a titanapyrrolidine that is formed by insertion of an alkene into the Ti-C bond of a titanaaziridine is reported.
