The synthesis and reactivity of Mn(I) complexes bearing bifunctional ligands comprising both the amine N-H and benzimidazole fragments I and II (R = H, Me; R1 = H, Me, phenyl; R2 = H, Me) are reported. Among the various ligands, the N-((1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)methyl)aniline ligand containing Mn(I) complex II (R = R2 = H; R1 = Ph) presented higher reactivity in the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of ketones R3C(O)R4 (R3 = Ph, thiophen-2-yl, cyclopropyl, etc.; R4 = Me, propan-2-yl, tert-Bu, etc.; R3R4 = 9H-fluoren-9-yl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl, cyclohexyl) in 2-propanol. Exptl., it was established that both the benzimidazole and amine N-H proton played a vital role in the enhancement of the catalytic activity. Utilizing this system, a wide range of ketones R3C(O)R4 and aldehydes R5CHO (R5 = 4-CH3C6H4, thiophen-2-yl, pentyl, etc.) was reduced efficiently. Notably, the TH of several imines R6R7C=NR8 (R6 = 4-OCH3C6H4, thiophen-2-yl, naphthalen-2-yl, etc.; R7 = H, Me, Et; R8 = C6H5, 4-OCH3C6H4, CH3(CH2)3, etc.), as well as chemoselective reduction of unsaturated ketones, was achieved in the presence of this catalyst. DFT calculations were carried out to understand the plausible reaction mechanism which disclosed that the transfer hydrogenation reaction followed a concerted outer-sphere mechanism.
