We recently reported a bis­(imino)­pyridine (or pyridine diimine, PDI) manganese precatalyst, (Ph2PPrPDI)Mn (1), that is active for the hydrosilylation of ketones and dihydrosilylation of esters. In this contribution, we reveal an expanded scope for 1-mediated hydrosilylation and propose two different mechanisms through which catalysis is achieved. Aldehyde hydrosilylation turnover frequencies (TOFs) of up to 4900 min–1 have been realized, the highest reported for first row metal-catalyzed carbonyl hydrosilylation. Additionally, 1 has been shown to mediate formate dihydrosilylation with leading TOFs of up to 330 min–1. Under stoichiometric and catalytic conditions, addition of PhSiH3 to (Ph2PPrPDI)Mn was found to result in partial conversion to a new diamagnetic hydride compound. Independent preparation of (Ph2PPrPDI)­MnH (2) was achieved upon adding NaEt3BH to (Ph2PPrPDI)­MnCl2 and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed this complex to possess a capped trigonal bipyramidal solid-state geometry. When 2,2,2-trifluoroacetophenone was added to 1, radical transfer yielded (Ph2PPrPDI·)­Mn­(OC·(Ph)­(CF3)) (3), which undergoes intermolecular C–C bond formation to produce the respective Mn­(II) dimer, [(μ-O,Npy-4-OC­(CF3)­(Ph)-4-H-Ph2PPrPDI)­Mn]2 (4). Upon finding 3 to be inefficient and 4 to be inactive, kinetic trials were conducted to elucidate the mechanisms of 1- and 2-mediated hydrosilylation. Varying the concentration of 1, substrate, and PhSiH3 revealed a first order dependence on each reagent. Furthermore, a kinetic isotope effect (KIE) of 2.2 ± 0.1 was observed for 1-catalyzed hydrosilylation of diisopropyl ketone, while a KIE of 4.2 ± 0.6 was determined using 2, suggesting 1 and 2 operate through different mechanisms. Although kinetic trials reveal 1 to be the more active precatalyst for carbonyl hydrosilylation, a concurrent 2-mediated pathway is more efficient for carboxylate hydrosilylation. Considering these observations, 1-catalyzed hydrosilylation is believed to proceed through a modified Ojima mechanism, while 2-mediated hydrosilylation occurs via insertion.
