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.
