Figure 3. Reaction network analysis of 1a. Effects of temperature (A); hydrogen pressure (B); and time (C) on the 1a conversion and product yield; (D) Proposed 1a reaction network, where Route 1 is that 1a undergoes aromatic ring hydrogenation to generate 2a followed by C-O bond cleavage, while Route 2 involves the first C-O bond cleavage and then the dearomatization process. Reaction conditions: 1 mmol 1a, Ru1/o-CeO2-ov of 0.3 mol% Ru, 3 mL n-octane.
