30. From molecular modelling it was found that 22 was lower in energy than the conjugated tetrasubstituted double bond isomer.
31. The optimised procedure required refluxing 11 with NaH (5 equiv.) in THF for 4 h followed by addition of BnBr and refluxing for a further 2 h. Less isomerisation was observed if 11 was refluxed with NaH for a shorter time.
