The reactivity and the stability of organomanganese reagents prepared from the ate complexes MnX₂·2LiBr (X= Br,I) and MnCl₂·R₄NX (X= Br, Cl) were studied. The preparation and the use for synthetic applications of stable sec- and tert-alkylmanganese bromides in ether as well as the acylation of RMnCl by R'COOCOOEt in THF were successfully achieved for the first time.
