Conclusions
-
1.
We studied the thermal isomerization ofα-nitrocinnamic ester, and also its isomerization by treatment with certain polar solvents with a basic character. The composition of the obtained equilibrium mixture of geometric isomers is independent of the method of isomerization.
-
2.
The reaction for the nucleophilic addition of methyl alcohol to the Z-isomer ofα-nitrocinnamic ester is accompanied by its isomerization to the E-isomer.
