Tentative mechanistic proposal. (A) Summary of the main overall reaction. (B–E) Reactivity studies on selective model compounds. (F) Proposed reactive network to the direct conversion of guaiacol into 7A. Reaction conditions: 0.5 mmol guaiacol, 200 mg catalyst, 3 mL t‐amyl alcohol, 5 mg dodecane as the internal standard, 180 °C,7 bar NH₃, 8 bar H₂. (C,D) Conversion and selectivity were determined by GC‐FID.
