Manganese catalyzed selective hydrogenation of cyclic imides to diols and amines
Abstract
Herein we report the selective hydrogenation of cyclic imides to diols and amines, homogeneously catalyzed for the first time by a complex of an earth-abundant metal, a manganese pincer complex. A plausible catalytic cycle is proposed based on informative mechanistic experiments.
