Abstract
We introduce a highly active and chemoselective manganese catalyst for the hydrogenation of imines. The catalyst has a large scope, can reduce aldimines and ketimines, and tolerates a variety of functional groups, among them hydrogenation sensitive examples such as an olefin, a ketone, nitriles, nitro groups and an aryl iodo substituent or a benzyl ether. We could investi-gate the transfer step between imines and the hydride complex in detail. We found that double deprotonation of the ligand is essential and excess base does not lead to a higher rate in the transfer step. We identified the actual hydrogenation catalyst as a K-Mn-bimetallic species and could obtain a structure of the K-Mn complex formed after hydride transfer by X-ray analysis. NMR experiments indicate that the hydride transfer is a well-defined reaction, which is first order in imine, first order in the bimetallic (K-Mn) hydride and independent in rate from the concentration of the potassium base. We propose an outer-sphere mechanism in which protons do not seem to be involved in the rate determining step, leading to a transiently nega-tively charged nitrogen atom in the substrate which reacts rapidly with HOtBu (2-methylpropan-2-ol) to produce the amine. This is based on several observations, such as no dependency of the reaction rate on the HOtBu concentration, no observable manganese amide complex and a high reaction constant in a conducted Hammett study. Furthermore, hydrogen transfer of the catalytic cycle was experimentally probed and monitored by NMR with subsequent quantitative regeneration of the cata-lyst by H2.
