Published: August 2020

Manganese catalysed ester reduction using ethanol as a hydrogen transfer agent in place of dihydrogen is reported. High yields can be achieved for a range of substrates using 1 mol% of a Mn(i) catalyst, with an alkoxide promoter. The catalyst is derived from a tridentate P,N,N ligand.
