49. The major competing byproduct was reductive debromination of the starting material. Hydrolysis of the glucosyl bromide was also observed in small amounts (<20%).
50. Alkenes that are more electron-rich than methyl acrylate were unreactive (acrylamide, ethyl vinyl ether) and led to slow reductive debromination of the starting material.

55. [4,4-D2]5 was shown to provide 3 only partially deuterated in the a position (20-25%), suggesting that multiple pathways for a reduction were operating (Scheme 2, box).
