Double dehydrogenative coupling of amino alcohols with primary alcohols under Mn(I) catalysis

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Nov 14;60(92):13606-13609. doi: 10.1039/d4cc03595j.

Abstract

Herein, we unveil a method for synthesizing substituted pyrrole and pyrazine compounds via a double dehydrogenative coupling of amino alcohols with primary alcohols, facilitated by Mn(I)-PNP catalysis, which uniquely enables the simultaneous formation of C-C and C-N bonds.
