Abstract
Reductions of compounds whose benzylic positions bear O‐atoms, such as benzyl alcohol, dibenzyl ether, styrene oxide, benzaldehyde, acetophenone, and benzophenone, to the corresponding non‐conjugated dienes were performed by using t‐BuOH, Li, and gaseous NH~3~ in THF at room temperature. In these reductions, it was observed that the functional groups at benzylic positions were reduced first.
