Old Concepts, New Application - Additive-Free Hydrogenation of Nitriles Catalyzed by an Air Stable Alkyl Mn(I) Complex
{{output}}
An efficient additive-free manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation of nitriles to primary amines with molecular hydrogen is described. The pre-catalyst, a well-defined bench-stable alkyl bisphosphine Mn(I) complex fac-[Mn(dpre)(CO)3(CH3)] (dpre=1,2-bis(di-n-propylph... ...
