Li, Xiao-Gen; Li, Fu; Xu, Yue; Xiao, Li-Jun; Xie, Jian-Hua; Zhou, Qi-Lin published the artcile< Hydrogenation of Esters by Manganese Catalysts>, COA of Formula: C7H7NO2, the main research area is primary alc preparation; ester hydrogenation manganese catalyst.
The hydrogenation of esters catalyzed by a manganese complex of phosphine-aminopyridine ligand was developed. Using this protocol, a variety of (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic carboxylates including biomass-derived esters and lactones were hydrogenated to primary alcs. R1CH2OH [R1 = Me, Ph, 2-furyl, etc.] with 63-98% yields. The manganese catalyst was found to be active for the hydrogenation of Me benzoate, providing benzyl alc. with turnover numbers (TON) as high as 45,000. Investigation of catalyst intermediates indicated that the amido manganese complex was the active catalyst species for the reaction.
Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis published new progress about Esters Role: RCT (Reactant), RACT (Reactant or Reagent). 93-60-7 belongs to class pyridine-derivatives, and the molecular formula is C7H7NO2, COA of Formula: C7H7NO2.
