Abstract

An expedient Mn-catalyzed three-component synthesis of 1, 5-amino/keto alcohols from Grignard reagents, imines/nitriles, and tetrahydrofuran (THF) is described, which deviates from the classic Grignard addition to imines/nitriles in THF solvent. THF is split and “sewn” in an unprecedented manner in the reaction, leading to the formation of two geminal C–C bonds via C–H and C–O cleavage. Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations reveal ...
