Abstract

The comparison of structures in the solid state and in solution by one method—NMR spectroscopy — enabled unequivocal demonstration of structural changes on dissolution of a solid compound. Thus,e.g., in the crystal the vinylogous amide (R = C6H11) investigated is E‐configurated at the CC double bond; in solution a Z‐form is most stable. (Figure Presented.)
