Reduction of 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxan with Na-K alloy affords 2-phenylbutane-1,4-diol as the major product along with smaller amounts of 3-phenylpropan-1-ol and 3,4-diphenylhexane-1,6-diols.

The electroreduction reaction of methyl cinnamate on a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode was investigated. The hydrodimer, dimethyl 3,4-diphenylhexanedioate (racemate/meso = 74:26), was obtained in 85% yield as the major product, along with small amounts of cyclic methyl 5-oxo-2,3-diphenylcyclopentane-1-carboxylate. Two new neolignan-type products were synthesized from the hydrodimer.
