Synthesis of Cyclic Imides by Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Coupling of Diols and Amines Catalyzed by a Manganese Pincer Complex
The first example of base-metal-catalyzed
dehydrogenative coupling
of diols and amines to form cyclic imides is reported. The reaction
is catalyzed by a pincer complex of the earth abundant manganese and
forms hydrogen gas as the sole byproduct, making the overall process
atom economical and environmentally benign
