A Highly Selective Manganese-Catalyzed Synthesis of Imines under Phosphine-Free Conditions

An efficient and highly selective phosphine-free NN-manganese­(I) complex catalyst system was developed for the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with amines to form imines. The coupling reactions underwent at 3 mol % catalyst loading, and a large range of alcohols and amines with di...

Description
Summary:An efficient and highly selective phosphine-free NN-manganese­(I) complex catalyst system was developed for the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with amines to form imines. The coupling reactions underwent at 3 mol % catalyst loading, and a large range of alcohols and amines with diverse functional groups was applied, including challenging diol and diamine. The target imine products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The present work provides an alternative method to construct highly active nonprecious metal complex catalysts based on phosphine-free ligands.
