Various primary alcohols with tert-butyl methacrylate (40) and styrene (41) as Michael acceptors were investigated (Table ). As a result, the reaction proceeded well with primary alcohols regardless of various functional groups such as electron donating and electron-withdrawing groups on the aromatic ring (42-52). The deoxygenative Giese reaction proceeded well with alcohols containing heterocycles such as pyridine rings and other aliphatic primary alcohols (53-59). The reaction was also effective with primary alcohols derived from important pharmaceuticals such as ibuprofen and naproxen. And when various primary alcohols were applied in this reaction, the desired product was obtained (62-64).
