^aReaction conditions: 50 mmol of 4 and 5.1 wt % Ru/C in IPA.

^bSpecific reaction time upon which complete conversion was observed via GC-FID.

^cComplete conversion was not achieved at the stated reaction time. Carbon mass balance cannot be determined due to partial decomposition of 4 at T > 150 °C in the GC analysis.
