- Visible-light-initiated manganese-catalyzed Giese addition of unactivated alkyl iodides to electron-poor olefins
-
Herein, we report a mild protocol for direct visible-light-initiated Giese addition of unactivated alkyl iodides to electron-poor olefins (Michael acceptors) with catalysis by decacarbonyl dimanganese, Mn2(CO)10, an inexpensive earth-abundant-metal catalyst. This protocol is compatible with a wide array of sensitive functional groups and has a broad substrate scope with regard to both the alkyl iodide and the Michael acceptor.

- Manganese-Catalyzed Borylation of Unactivated Alkyl Chlorides
-
The use of low-cost manganese(II) bromide (MnBr2) and tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) catalyzes the cross coupling of (bis)pinacolatodiboron with a wide range of alkyl halides, demonstrating the first manganese-catalyzed coupling with alkyl electrophiles. This method allows access to primary, secondary, and tertiary boronic esters from the parent chlorides, which were previously inaccessible as coupling partners. The reaction proceeds in high yield with as little as 1000 ppm catalyst loading, while 5 mol % can provide high yields in as little as 30 min. Finally, radical-clock experiments revealed that at 0 °C direct borylation outcompetes alternative radical processes, thereby providing synthetically useful, temperature-controlled reaction outcomes.

- Oxidation of primary aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes with difluoro(aryl)-λ3-bromane
-
Oxidation of primary aliphatic aldehydes with p- trifluoromethylphenyl(difluoro)-λ3-bromane in dichloromethane at 0 °C afforded acid fluorides selectively in good yields, while that of aromatic aldehydes in chloroform at room temperature produced aryl difluoromethyl ethers. A larger migratory aptitude of aryl groups compared to primary alkyl groups during a 1,2-shift from carbon to an electron-deficient oxygen atom in bromane(III) Criegee-type intermediates will result in these differences in the reaction courses.
