A pincer for high selectivity: A mild palladium‐catalyzed hydroamination of protected amino‐1,3‐dienes is possible. This highly regioselective reaction employs a tridentate PNP pincer ligand and leads to cyclic and homoallylic protected amines in high yields. Substrates with a wide array of amine protecting groups and diene substitution patterns were cyclized to form five‐ and six‐membered heterocycles. PG=protecting group.
