Manganese compounds in the catalysis of organic reactions

The review summarizes published data on the use of manganese compounds as catalysts in oxidation of alkanes, alcohols, aldehydes, sulfides, and amines and carbometalation, cross coupling, telomerization, chlorination, hydrosilylation, hydrohydrazination, and other reactions.

Synthesis of substituted quinolines by the reaction of anilines with alcohols and CCl4 in the presence of Fe-containing catalysts

Substituted quinolines were synthesized by the reaction of aniline derivatives with aliphatic alcohols and CCl4 upon the action of the FeCl3·6H2O catalyst.

Intermolecular dehydration of alcohols by the action of copper compounds activated with carbon tetrabromide. Synthesis of ethers

Copper compounds of the general formula CuXn (X = Cl, Br, I, acac, OAc, C7H4O3, C7H5O2; n = 1, 2) activated by carbon tetrabromide catalyzed intermolecular dehydration of primary and secondary alcohols with formation of the corresponding ethers.

Synthesis of quinolines by iron-catalyzed reaction of anilines with propane-1,3-diol

Quinoline and its derivatives were synthesized by cyclocondensation of anilines with propane-1,3-diol in 57–96% yield in the presence of iron-containing catalysts in carbon tetrachloride.

Quinolines synthesis by reacting 1,3-butanediol with anilines in the presence of iron catalysts

Abstract2-, 4-, 6-, 7-, and 8-substituted quinolines were synthesized in 78–95% yield by the reaction of 1,3- butanediol with anilines in the presence of iron catalysts in carbon tetrachloride.

Synthesis of methyl furan-2-carboxylate and dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate by copper-catalyzed reactions of furans with CCl4 and MeOH

Methyl furan-2-carboxylate and dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate were obtained in high yields by copper-catalyzed reactions of furan, furfural, 2-acetylfuran, and furan-2-carboxylic acid with CCl4 and MeOH.

Chlorination of hydrocarbons with CCl4 catalyzed by complexes of Mn, Mo, V, Fe

Catalytic chlorination of alkanes, cycloalkanes, and adamantane utilizing tetrachloromethane as the source of chlorine and applying catalysts containing manganese, molybdenum, vanadium, and iron activated with nitrile ligands, alcohols, and water was fulfilled. The optimum ratios of catalysts and reagents and the best reaction conditions were found for selective synthesis of chlorine-substituted hydrocarbons derivatives.

Alkyl biphenyl-4-carboxylates have been synthesized with high selectivity by multicomponent reaction of biphenyl with carbon tetrachloride and aliphatic alcohols in the presence of iron-containing catalysts.

Alkylation of aniline with methanol in the presence of FeCl3 · 6H2O in carbon tetrachloride

The reaction of aniline with methanol in the presence of FeCl3 · 6 H2O in carbon tetrachloride leads to the formation of N-methyl- and N,N-dimethylanilines and 4,4′-methylenebis(N,N-dimethylaniline).
