Abstract:The reactivity of metal-hydride complexes can be harnessed by the modification of ancillary ligands. With the aim of improving the hydride-donor ability of the key Mn−H intermediate and reducing steric hindrance, we herein report the rational design of a versatile and efficient NHC-based NNC-pincer Mn catalyst for hydrogenation reactions. This newly developed catalyst exhibited higher activity than the corresponding NNP-pincer Mn catalyst owing to its reduced steric hindrance and enhanced Mn−H σ-bonding orbital energy level through a π-antibonding interaction. Using this highly active NNC-pincer Mn catalyst, a rich array of polar unsaturated compounds (>80 examples) including esters, N-heteroarenes, amides, carbonates, and urea derivatives, were successfully hydrogenated under relatively mild conditions. This work represents a rare example of a general phosphine-free Mn-catalyzed hydrogenation system.
