Additions of organomanganese reagents to aromatic and aliphatic conjugated nitroolefins were examined for the first time. In most cases reaction proceeded rapidly at -30 degrees C. Unlike Mn reagents lacking beta-hydrogens (Me, Ph), which lead to oxidative coupling and reductive dimerisation of nitrostyrenes, benzylmanganese chloride gives 1,4-addition in yields exceeding Grignard or Cu-assisted additions. At 0 degrees C alkyl(Bu, Pr)-manganese reagents undergo an addition-migration-elimination process with nitrostyrenes providing a convenient and stereospecific entry into arylated trans-olefins.

An unprecedented N-heterocyclic carbene catalytic reductive beta,beta-carbon coupling of alpha,beta-nitroalkenes, by using an organic substrate to mimic the one-electron oxidation role of the pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFOR) in living systems, has been developed. The reaction goes through a radical anion intermediate generated under a catalytic redox process. For the first time, the presence of radical anion intermediate in NHC organocatalysis is observed and clearly verified.
