Abstract
An easily accessible N-heterocyclic carbene manganese (NHC-Mn) system catalyzes highly active α-alkylation of ketones with alcohols. This system was efficient for a wide range of ketones and alcohols under mild reaction conditions, and also for the green synthesis of quinoline derivatives.
