Aromatic C-H addition of ketones to imines enabled by manganese catalysis
The Mannich reaction proceeds by functionalization of C(sp3)-H bonds alpha to carbonyls. Here, the authors suppress the Mannich reactivity of acetophenones in presence of a manganese catalyst and obtain valuable o-aminoalkylacetophenones and isoindolines via C(sp2)-H functionalization with imines.
