These events are markedly affected by solvent chemical identity, with polar protic solvents ionizing hydrogen adatoms (H*) to interfacial protons (H

For ring saturation, H* attack onto an unsaturated meta carbon is rate limiting with no direct solvent participation, suggesting that protic polar solvents selectively promote the C?O cleavage pathway. Taken together, we show that activating guaiacol for either C?O bond cleavage or ring saturation product formation depends on the reactive hydrogen identity (H* or H
