Multicomponent Synthesis of 5-Cyano-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines Enabled by Aerobic Manganese Catalysis Keywords: Manganese catalysis; Strecker reaction; Multicomponent reaction; Cyanation EN Manganese catalysis Strecker reaction Multicomponent reaction Cyanation 871 876 6 03/27/23 20230321 NES 230321 An aerobic Mn(III)-catalyzed one-pot three-component synthesis of 5-cyano-pyrazolo[1,5- I a i ]pyrimidines has been described. These results revealed that the tandem reaction starts with the Strecker reaction and Mn(OAc) SB 3 sb - 2H SB 2 sb O is essential in the following oxidative cyclization process. All of these control experiments strongly support that this tandem reaction involves the Strecker reaction and the sequential Mn-catalyzed cyclization to afford the desired product B 4 aa b .
