Scheme 5.
e‐PRCreductive deoxygenation. [a] Isolated yields of products 2 ai and 2 aj. [b] Yields in parentheses {} are 1H NMR yields from using NpMI as an e‐PRCat. [c] Yields of 2 ak and 2 ak′ are determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy with 1,3,5‐trimethoxybenzene as an internal standard, identified by literature comparisons and GC‐MS traces.
