Rate constants directly measured from the GC‐analyzed method for SmI 2 reduction of ethyl t ‐cinnamate and its substituted derivatives in the presence of HMPA and t ‐butanol were obtained. HMPA exhibits a stronger catalytic effect than t ‐butanol. Dependence of reaction rates on concentration of SmI 2 and temperature were studied. Electron‐donating groups retard this reduction; the electron‐withdrawing groups, on the other hand, enhance the reaction rates dramatically.
