26. The stereochemical relationship between the ester and aryl groups in 7 was determined to be trans, as seen in the other derivatives (see, ref 6). Similar results were reported in the Knoevenagel condensation of ethyl 3-oxo-3-phenylpropionate with benzaldehyde, though the reaction of methyl acetoacetate was known to give a mixture of geometrical isomers; see following references and those cited therein.

29. vic between the protons at the 2 and 3 positions of 2c is 2.8 Hz, suggesting a trans-arrangement. See ref 6 and the following references.

We have already reported that a thermolytic method with Pd-C in refluxing diphenyl ether is effective to prepare some azulene derivatives, see: Kuroda, S.; Hirooka, S.; Iwaki, H.; Ikeda, M.; Nakao, T.
