51. A similar approach combined with considerably more laborious analytical techniques (combustion instead of NMR) has been used to investigate the mechanism of the MPV reduction: Williams, E. D.; Krieger, K. A.; Day, A. R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1953, 75, 2404.

53. 1H NMR spectrum recorded after 10 min at 70 °C shows a resonance at -17.4 ppm, which disappears within 30 min. Unfortunately, any attempts to stabilize this hydrid species for detailed analysis were unsuccessful.
54. However, Hammett correlation has been observed in MPV reduction, see: (a) Pickart, D. E.; Hancock, C. K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1955, 77, 4642.
