In the presence of a catalytic amount of bis(dipivaloylmethanato)manganese(II) complex, the oxygenation of benzyl crotonate with molecular oxygen and phenylsilane proceeds smoothly under a mild condition to give benzyl 2-hydroxybutyrate in high yield.The reaction provides a new and convenient method for the direct preparation of various α-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters starting from α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid esters.The influence of substituents of olefins on regioselectivity is also studied.

Two cis-β-MnIIISALPN catalysts were synthesised and tested in the Mukaiyama-Isayama hydration of α,β-unsaturated esters. The MnIIIEtOSALPN(acac) complex 7 is the most active and catalyses hydration with little or no detectable undesired alkene reduction. This catalyst is superior for alkene hydration compared to the originally reported Mn(dpm)3 catalyst.
