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-conjugateddienes were performed by using t-BuOH, Li, and gaseous NH3 in THF at room temperature. In these reductions, it was observed that the functional groups at benzylic positions were reduced first.
