Efforts to generate organomanganese reagents under ball-milling conditions have led to the serendipitous discovery that manganese metal can mediate the reductive dimerization of arylidene malonates. The newly uncovered process has been optimized and its mechanism explored using CV measurements, radical trapping experiments, EPR spectroscopy, and solution control reactions. This unique reactivity can also be translated to solution whereupon pre-milling of the manganese is required.

Chiral N,N′-dioxide/Zn(NTf2)2 complexes were demonstrated to be highly effective in the direct asymmetric conjugate addition of arylacetonitriles to alkylidene malonates under mild conditions. A wide range of substrates were tolerated to afford their corresponding products in moderate-to-good yields with high diastereoselectivities (82:18->99:1 d.r.) and enantioselectivities (81-99 % ee). The reactions performed well, owing to the high Lewis acidity of the metal triflimidate and a ligand-acceleration effect. The N,N′-dioxide also benefited the deprotonation process as a Bronsted base. The catalytic reaction could be performed on the gram-scale with retention of yield, diastereoselectivity, and enantioselectivity. The products that contained functional groups were ready for further manipulation. In addition, a possible catalytic model was proposed to explain the origin of the asymmetric induction. Copyright
