Catalytic hydrogenation of cyclic carbonates to diols and methanol was achieved using a molecular catalyst based on earth-abundant manganese. The complex [Mn(CO)<sub>2</sub> (Br)[HN(C<sub>2</sub> H<sub>4</sub> P<sup>i</sup> Pr<sub>2</sub> )<sub>2</sub> ] 1 comprising commercially available MACHO ligand is an effective pre-catalyst operating under relatively mild conditions (T=120 °C, p(H<sub>2</sub> )=30-60 bar). Upon activation with NaO<sup>t</sup> Bu, the formation of coordinatively unsaturate ...[more]
