complex [Mn(CO)5Br] was studied for the selective reduction of levulinic acid (LA) to 2-methyl-tetrahydrofuran (MTHF). We further studied the production of pyrrolidines via its reductiveamination using silanes (phenylsilane and tetramethyldisiloxane). The results showed high efficiency and selectivity for this reaction leading to high yields using mild reaction conditions.
