A must-read reference for anyone interested in catalyst design and sustainable organic synthesis

In Manganese Catalysis in Organic Synthesis, distinguished researcher Jean-Baptiste Sortais delivers an insightful and robust overview of the use of manganese in homogenous catalysis. The editor includes papers from authoritative academics describing the organometallic precursors used to develop manganese catalysts and covers critical applications in organic synthesis, including reduction to oxidation reactions, C-C, C-N, C-X bond formation reactions, cross-coupling reactions, C-H bond activation to dihydroxylation and epoxidation reactions.

Manganese Catalysis in Organic Synthesis is a practical resource for every organic chemist in academia and industry with an interest in non-noble metal catalysis, organic synthesis, and sustainable chemistry. It is intuitively and clearly organized, covering the most important synthetic procedures using homogenous manganese catalysts. It is also the ideal companion to works like Cobalt Catalysis in Organic Synthesis, Nickel Catalysis in Organic Synthesis, and Iron Complexes in Catalysis.

Readers will also enjoy:

• Thorough introductions to organometallic manganese compounds in organic synthesis and manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation and hydrogen transfer reactions
• A comprehensive exploration of manganese-catalyzed hydrogen borrowing reactions and dehydrogenative coupling reactions
• Practical discussions of manganese-catalyzed hydrosilylation and hydroboration reactions and manganese-catalyzed electro- and photocatalysis transformations
• In-depth examinations of manganese-catalyzed C-H oxygenation reactions and manganese-catalyzed organometallic C-H activation
• Insightful treatments of manganese-catalyzed cross-coupling processes and manganese(III) acetate mediated cyclizations

Perfect for catalytic, organic, and pharmaceutical chemists, Manganese Catalysis in Organic Synthesis deserves a place in the libraries of researchers and professionals interested in catalyst design and sustainable organic synthesis.

Jean-Baptiste Sortais is Full Professor at the Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse 3, France. His research focuses on the design and development of new complexes based on earth abundant metals for catalysis.
