A new type of allyl- and prop-2-ynyl-manganese species: generation and reactions with electrophiles

Abstract

Tetrabutylmanganese ate complex ‘Bu₄MnLi₂’ reacts with allylic and prop-2-ynylic bromides to generate the corresponding allyl- and prop-2-ynyl-manganese species which further react with electrophiles such as aldehydes, ketones, epoxide and chlorosilanes to afford the corresponding allylated and prop-2-ynylated and/or allenylated products in high yields.
