The use of highly active manganese (Mn)*, prepared by the Rieke method, was investigated for the direct preparation of benzylic manganese reagents. The oxidative addition of the highly active manganese to benzylic halides was easily completed under mild conditions. Moreover, benzylic manganese sulfonates and phosphates were prepared by direct oxidative addition of Mn* to the carbon-oxygen bonds of benzylic sulfonates and phosphates. The resulting benzylic manganese reagents were found to undergo cross-coupling reactions with a variety of electrophiles. Most of these reactions were carried out in the absence of any transition metal catalyst under mild conditions. In addition, the use of highly active manganese was also studied for preparation of homo-coupled products of functionalized benzyl halides without transition metal catalysts. These useful approaches provided not only a facile synthetic route to the preparation of resoricinolic lipids but a facile synthesis of functionalized 4-benzylpyridines by regioselective and chemo selective γ-addition of benzylic group to N-alkoxycarbonylpyridinum salts.

A general approach by use of highly functionalized mixed copper zinc, benzylic organometallics to react with N-ethoxycarbonylpyridinium chloride to give regioselectively 4-benzylpyridines after oxygen oxidation in 30-75% yield is described.
