8. 1H NMR spectroscopy, we have found that 2 is more labile than 1 under the isomerization conditions. Further-more, at the latter stages of the isomerization, the rate of loss of 2 becomes competitive with the rate of isomerization of 1 to 2. Consequently, we feel that the inability to detect trace amounts of 1 in the attempted isomerization of 2 to 1 provides strong (albeit negative) evidence that 2 is thermodynamically more stable than 1 within the limits described in the text.
