Abstract

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 ...
