30. The cyclohexadienyl H-atoms could be abstracted by phenoxyl radicals or other radicals in the system, or possibly by electron transfer from 24 yielding the corresponding cyclohexadienyl cations which then lose a proton. The latter route seems unlikely in t-BuPh solvent and in the absence of a good electron-acceptor molecule. Air oxidation of 25a,b during workup is another possibility.
