Conclusions
-
1.
Z, E Configurations of unsaturated azlactones and their solvolysis products were established by means of the vicinal spin-spin coupling constant, J13C,H, determined in the13C NMR spectra. Previously published assumptions of a uniform olefin-bond configuration in unsaturated azlactones and their solvolysis products were confirmed.
-
2.
Z and E isomers were identified by the number of signals in the 135–151 ppm region of the13C NMR spectrum.
-
3.
The chemical shift values of the Hβ proton are characteristic of Z,E isomers of unsaturated azlactones.
-
4.
Conjugation of the olefin and carbonyl bonds is assumed to be more effective in the E isomers of azlactones than in the Z isomers.
