Synthesis and characterization of N,N-chelate manganese complexes and applications in C–N coupling reactions

Publication date: Available online 19 December 2019Source: Inorganica Chimica ActaAuthor(s): Kuhali Das, Amol Kumar, Akash Jana, Biplab MajiAbstractBidentate NN-ligands have been derived from the reaction between aldehydes and 2-(aminomethyl)pyridine. The treatment of these ligands with Mn(CO)5Br gave complexes that are highly bench stable. The complexes were characterized by various analytical and spectral methods. Single-crystal XRD of complex Mn-2 was performed, which indicates an octahedral geometry around the metal center. The complexes efficiently catalyze the N-alkylation of anilines with alcohols under optimized reaction conditions.Graphical abstract
