Chalcones [(E)-1,3-diarylprop-2-en-1-ones] react with benzyltetracarbonylmanganese under reflux in petroleum spirit to give two types of cyclomanganation products. The first, involving metallation at the alkenyl beta-carbon of the enone, are derivatives of [[1-phenyl-2-phenylcarbonyl-kappa O]ethenyl-kappa C-1]tetracarbonylmanganese, while the second type, manganated at the aryl ring ortho-carbon, are derivatives of [2-[3-phenylprop-2-en-1-onyl-kappa O]phenyl-kappa C-1]tetracarbonylmangane In general, more ''alkene-manganated'' than ''ring-manganated'' product is formed, with the ratio influenced significantly by certain substituents, e.g. a 4-CF3 substituent on the phenyl ring at C3 of the enone strongly promotes ''alkene-manganation''. in some cases there are minor by-products derived from coupling of two chalcone molecules after initial cyclomanganation. The crystal structures are reported for two such products, [2-((1S*,2R*,3S*)-1-hydroxy-1-((E)-2-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)ethenyl)-3-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-6-methoxy-2-indanylcarbonyl- kappa O)-6-methoxyphenyl-kappa C-1]tetracarbonylmanganese and (1S*,4S*,5R*)-5-(4-bromobenzoyl)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-3,4-di-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-ol.In acetonitrile under reflux, alkene-manganated chalcones react with methyl acrylate (methyl propenoate) to form derivatives of methyl (E)-4,6-diphenyl-6-oxohex-2-enoate and of 5-(2-methoxycarbonylethyl)-3,5-diphenylfuran-2-(5H)-one. The latter butenolides are not formed when the reactions are carried out in carbon tetrachloride, only the former alpha,beta-unsaturated esters. By contrast, in a few reactions studied, acrolein (propenal) and methyl vinyl ketone (but-3-en-2-one) give only the butenolide products when treated with alkene-manganated chalcones in refluxing acetonitrile. An exception is the reaction of methyl vinyl ketone with [[1 -(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-chlorophenylcarbonyl-kappa O)]ethenyl-kappa C-1]tetracarbonylmanganese to form the cyclized product 5-acetyl-1-(4-chlorophenyl)3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-ol.
