Robust and efficient hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds catalysed by mixed donor Mn(I) pincer complexes

Manganese-based hydrogenation catalysts are sensitive to high temperatures and may degrade under industrially relevant conditions. Here, the authors report a highly efficient manganese pincer pre-catalyst displaying high TOF values (up to 41 000 h−1) and stability (TON up to 200 000) at loadings as...

Description
Summary:Manganese-based hydrogenation catalysts are sensitive to high temperatures and may degrade under industrially relevant conditions. Here, the authors report a highly efficient manganese pincer pre-catalyst displaying high TOF values (up to 41 000 h−1) and stability (TON up to 200 000) at loadings as low as 5-200 ppm.
