Hey Man(ganese): A newly prepared (N-phosphinoamidinate)manganese pre-catalyst (see Scheme) has been shown to be effective for the hydrosilative reduction of a diverse scope of carbonyl compounds, and in most cases can be used at room temperature. The reaction proceeds under reaction conditions which are competitive with the most effective transition-metal catalysts known for such transformations, and thereby establishes a new class of synthetically useful Mn-catalyzed transformations.

锰催化剂：轻度还原酰胺，酮，醛和酯

Hey Man（ganese）：新制备的N-膦酰胺基锰预催化剂（参见方案）可有效地对各种范围的羰基化合物进行氢化硅烷化还原，在大多数情况下可在室温下使用。该反应在与已知用于这种转化的最有效的过渡金属催化剂竞争的反应条件下进行，从而建立了一类新的合成上有用的Mn催化的转化。
