Significance

A silica-supported manganese catalyst (Mn@SiO2–40 0) was prepared by treatment of silica gel with Mn{N(SiMe3)2}2·THF, followed by thermal treatment under reduced pressure (eq. 1). Mn@SiO2–400 catalyzed the hydrosilylation of benzaldehyde (eq. 2), the hydroboration of aldehydes and ketones (eq. 3), and the transesterification of methyl esters with 1-butanol (eq. 4) to give the corresponding products in ≥91% yields.

Comment

Mn@SiO2–400 was characterized by means of elemental analysis and IR, EPR, and XANES spectroscopy. In the hydroboration reaction, the catalyst was recovered and reused four times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.
