Description:
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A versatile manganese(I) catalyst was employed in CH aminocarbonylation reactions of heteroarenes with aryl as well as with alkyl isocyanates using a removable directing group approach. Detailed experimental mechanistic studies were suggestive of an organometallic CH manganesation step, followed by a rate‐determining migratory insertion.</jats:p>
