52. The net balance constitutes an intramolecular consumption of two hydrogen atoms for the Cbz-cleavage and the release of two further hydrogen atoms. Although the hydrogen-transfer process is likely to proceed in intramolecular fashion, we cannot exclude the competitive operation of intermolecular pathways.

56. The following reactions support this assumption: Subjection of 3a to Pd/C-catalyzed aromatization afforded 2a in 75% yield. Identical reaction conditions did not effect Cbz-cleavage from 1a.
