《Hydrosilylation of Esters Catalyzed by Bisphosphine Manganese(I) Complex: Selective Transformation of Esters to Alcohols》 was published in Organic Letters in 2020. These research results belong to Behera, Rakesh R.; Ghosh, Rahul; Panda, Surajit; Khamari, Subrat; Bagh, Bidraha. Safety of Bromopentacarbonylmanganese(I) The article mentions the following:
A tricarbonylruthenium Xantphos complex I was prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallog.; in the presence of I, esters underwent chemoselective hydrosilylation with phenylsilane under neat conditions (followed by workup with base) to yield esters. Aryl, alkyl, and alkenyl mono- and dicarboxylates and lactones underwent chemoselective reduction to alcs. and diols; ketoesters underwent reduction to diols. Poly(1,6-hexanediol adipate) underwent hydrosilylation to 1,6-hexanediol. The experimental process involved 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)
