Abstract
A hydride Mn(I) PNP pincer complex catalyzes environmentally benign, sustainable, and practical syntheses of substituted quinolines and pyrimidines using combinations of 2-aminobenzyl alcohols and alcohols as well as benzamidine and two different alcohols, respectively. The reactions proceed with high atom efficiency via a sequence of dehydrogenation and condensation steps in very good isolated yields.
