Abstract: A manganese–potassium heterodinuclear catalyst was found to exhibit higher catalytic activity than manganese dinuclear catalysts toward catalytic esterification of tertiary N,N-dialkyl aliphatic amides through C−N bond cleavage. Based on stoichiometric reactions, kinetic analysis, and DFT calculations, the reaction mechanism was elucidated, in which the potassium supported the manganese to construct an appropriate transition state for nucleophilic attack of an alkoxide to a carbonyl moiety of an amide.
