Abstract
A very simple and inexpensive catalytic system based on abundant manganese as transition metal and on an inexpensive phosphine-free bidendate ligand enables the reduction of a broad range of carbonyl derivatives with 2-propanol as hydrogen donor at room temperature. The reaction runs with low catalyst loading and exhibits a good functional group tolerance.
