3-Thienylmanganese bromide, 3-bromo-4-thienylmanganese bromide and 4-substituted 3-thienylmanganese bromides were prepared from the reactions of Rieke manganese with 3-bromothiophene, 3,4-dibromothiophene and 4-substituted 3-bromothiophenes, respectively. The resulting thienylmanganese bromides underwent cross-coupling reactions under mild reaction conditions.
