Deoxygenative hydrogenation of amides to amines homogeneously catalyzed by a complex of an Earth-abundant metal is presented. This manganese-catalyzed reaction features high efficiency and selectivity. A plausible reaction mechanism, involving metal-ligand cooperation of the manganese pincer complex, is proposed based on NMR studies and relevant stoichiometric reactions.
