Manganese(I)-Catalyzed ?-Methylation of Alcohols Using Methanol as C1 Source.

ABSTRACT: Highly selective ?-methylation of alcohols was achieved using an earth-abundant first row transition metal in the air stable molecular manganese complex [Mn(CO)2 Br[HN(C2 H4 Pi Pr2 )2 ]] 1 ([HN(C2 H4 Pi Pr2 )2 ]=MACHO-i Pr). The reaction requires only low loadings of 1 (0.5?mol?%), methanolate as base and MeOH as methylation reagent as well as solvent. Various alcohols were ?-methylated with very good selectivity (>99?%) and excellent yield (up to 94?%). Biomass derived aliphatic alcohols and diols were also selectively methylated on the ?-position, opening a pathway to "biohybrid" molecules constructed entirely from non-fossil carbon. Mechanistic studies indicate that the reaction proceeds through a borrowing hydrogen pathway involving metal-ligand cooperation at the Mn-pincer complex. This transformation provides a convenient, economical, and environmentally benign pathway for the selective C-C bond formation with potential applications for the preparation of advanced biofuels, fine chemicals, and biologically active molecules.
