Electric Literature of C5BrMnO5In 2021 ,《Manganese-Catalyzed Selective Hydrogenative Cross-Coupling of Nitriles and Amines to Form Secondary Imines》 was published in Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis. The article was written by Li, Xiao-Gen; Zhou, Qi-Lin. The article contains the following contents:
Manganese complexes with tridentate PNN ligands I (Ar = Ph, 3,5-dimethylphenyl; R = H, Cl, OMe, t-Bu, NMe2, etc.) have been synthesized as catalysts for hydrogenative cross-coupling reaction of nitriles R1CN (R1 = t-Bu, cyclohexyl, Ph, oxan-4-yl, 2H-1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl, etc.) and amines R2NH2 (R2 = heptyl, cyclohexyl, 4-phenylbutyl, 3-(morpholin-4-yl)propyl, etc.) to form secondary imines R1CH=NR2. This reaction afforded a variety of unsym. secondary imines in good yields with excellent selectivity. Investigation of catalyst intermediates indicated that an amido manganese complex may be the active catalyst species for this reaction. After reading the article, we found that the author used Bromopentacarbonylmanganese(I)(cas: 14516-54-2Electric Literature of C5BrMnO5)
Bromopentacarbonylmanganese(I)(cas: 14516-54-2) has many other uses. It is used in the formation of (eta6-arene)tricarbonylmanganese(I) by reacting with arene (arene= hexamethyl benzene, 1,2,4,5-tetramethyl benzene, mesitylene, p-xylene and toluene) in the presence silver salt.Electric Literature of C5BrMnO5
