Developing more efficient catalytic processes using abundant and low toxicity transition metals is key to enable their mainstream use in synthetic chemistry. We have rationally designed a new Mn(i)-catalyst for hydroarylation reactions that displays much improved catalytic activity over the commonly used MnBr(CO)<sub>5</sub>. Our catalyst, MnBr(CO)<sub>3</sub>(MeCN)<sub>2</sub>, avoids the formation of the off-cycle manganacycle-(CO)<sub>4</sub> species responsible for low catalyst activity, all ...[more]
