Manganese-Catalyzed One-Pot Conversion of Nitroarenes into N-Methylarylamines Using Methanol - data

A manganese-catalyzed one-pot conversion of nitroarenes into N-methylarylamines has been developed. This transfer hydrogenation method employs a well-defined bench stable Mn PN³P pincer precatalyst in combination with methanol as both the reductant and the C1 source. A selection of commercially available nitroarenes was converted into N-methylarylamines in synthetically useful yields.

Analysis of reaction products from this methodology resulted in the following data:

1H, 19F and 13C NMR raw data files

IR spectra

High resolution mass spectrometry spectra.
