When we investigated the minimum amount of Zn powder which is necessary for the reduction of 1a, we found that the reduction took place with 654 mg of Zn powder which is twice molar of substrate under the same reaction conditions. But with equimolar Zn powder for 1a, the starting material remained. However, other substrates besides 1a needed 5 g of Zn powder for reduction.
