The first example of a manganese(iii) catalyst for the acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcohols is presented. <i>N</i>,<i>N'</i>-Bis(salicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediaminomanganese(iii) chloride (<b>2</b>) has been shown to catalyze the direct synthesis of imines from a variety of alcohols and amines with the liberation of hydrogen gas. The mechanism has been investigated experimentally with labelled substrates and theoretically with DFT calculations. The results indicate a metal-ligand bifunction ...[more]
