Abstract
Reaction of 5-nitro-2-furylvinyltrimethylammonium bromide with substituted phenolates gave (E)- and (Z)-(X-phenyl)-5-nitro-2-furylvinyl ethers. The preffered s-cis and s-trans orientations of the furan ring in Z and E isomers, respectively, were determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy. To study the extent of p-π conjugation, 13C NMR spectra of compounds under investigation have also been measured and interpreted. Chemical shifts for ethylenic carbons and protons were correlated with Hammett σ constants.
