• aldehyde in high yield owing to the propensity for the intermediate aldehyde to be reduced further to the corresponding primary alcohol. Presumably in the case of these t-butyl esters, increased steric compression in the initial tetrahedral intermediate causes this to collapse to the aldehyde, even at low
