Zhang, Guang-Ya; Ruan, Sun-Hong; Li, Yan-Yun; Gao, Jing-Xing published their research in Chinese Chemical Letters in 2021. The article was titled 《Manganese catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones》.Safety of Bromopentacarbonylmanganese(I) The article contains the following contents:
The asym. transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of a wide range of ketones catalyzed by manganese complex as well as chiral PxNy-type ligand under mild conditions was investigated. Using 2-propanol as hydrogen source, various ketones could be enantioselectively hydrogenated by combining cheap, readily available [MnBr(CO)5] with chiral, 22-membered macrocyclic ligand (R,R,R’,R’)-CyP2N4 I with 2 mol% of catalyst loading, affording highly valuable chiral alcs. with up to 95% ee. The results came from multiple reactions, including the reaction of Bromopentacarbonylmanganese(I)(cas: 14516-54-2Safety of Bromopentacarbonylmanganese(I))
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.Safety of Bromopentacarbonylmanganese(I)
