Abstract
A new method to obtain activated manganese metal, especially attractive for large scale preparative organic chemistry, is described. The key point is the use of 2-phenylpyridine as electron carrier to reduce manganese chloride by lithium. The active manganese thus obtained was used to prepare various organomanganese reagents from organic halides. The reactivity of these reagents has been studied (acylation, 1,2- or 1,4-addition, alkylation and alkenylation).
