Abstract

The use of Earth-abundant metals as catalysts for chemical synthesis in order to install more sustainable reactions is a major goal in modern synthesis. Within the last few years, well-defined manganese complexes appeared in academic research and were proven to be a powerful player in the field of benign oxidation and reduction reactions. In this chapter, we describe the development in the field of manganese-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling and hydrogen-borrowing reactions, employing alcohols as sustainable carbon source.
