- Preparation of functionalized organomanganese(II) reagents by direct insertion of manganese to aromatic and benzylic halides
-
Functionalized arylmanganese compounds were prepared using commercial manganese powder in the presence of LiCl and catalytic amounts of both 2.5% InCl3 and 2.5% PbCl2 (THF, 0-50 °C). In addition, benzylic manganese reagents are obtained at 25 °C in ca. 70-80% yield (in the absence of LiCl) using commercial manganese powder and catalytic amounts of 2.5% InCl3 and 2.5% PbCl2. The resulting organomanganese reagents undergo smooth 1,2-addition, acylation, allylic substitution, Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling, and copper-catalyzed conjugate addition, affording the desired products in good yields.
