Manganese-Catalyzed Carboacylations of Alkenes with Alkyl Iodides.

ABSTRACT: A manganese-catalyzed carboacylation of alkenes with alkyl iodides and carbon monoxide is described. This carbonylative difunctionalization uses both primary and secondary alkyl iodides in reactions with a diverse array of cyclic and acyclic substrates. Examples of successful applications to the synthesis of five-, six-, and seven-membered rings are provided. The inexpensive, first-row catalytic system and mild reaction conditions are expected to facilitate applications in complex synthesis.
