    Abstract

    Catalytic hydrogenation of carboxylic acid esters isessential for the green production of pharmaceuticals,fragran-ces,and fine chemicals.Herein, we report the efficient hydro-genation of esters with manganese catalysts based on simplebidentate aminophosphine ligands.Monoligated Mn PNcomplexes are particularly active for the conversion of estersinto the corresponding alcohols at Mn concentrations as low as0.2 mol%inthe presence of sub-stoichiometric amounts ofKOtBu base.
