A study of the advantages of using manganese, an inexpensive and nontoxic metal, to perform stereoselective β-elimination reactions and to promote sequential olefination reactions of aldehydes to obtain α,β- unsaturated esters and amides is presented. Various elimination reactions, all of them characterized by occurring with complete stereoselectivity and in high yields, were performed using active manganese (Mn*) as metalating agent. This ability of manganese has been applied to develop a novel and direct synthesis of (E)-α,β-unsaturated esters or amides and (Z)-α,β-unsaturated α-halo esters and α-choroamides through a Mn*-mediated sequential olefination protocol of aldehydes with dichloro esters or amides and trihalo esters or trichloroamides, respectively.
