28. The (E) stereochemistry of the C=C double bond was established on the basis of the observed coupling constant between the two olefinic protons (J ≈ 16 Hz in all cases). On the other hand, it is known that the barrier to E/Z interconversion at the C=N bond is very low for N-sulfonylimines (see, for instance: Brown, C.; Hudson, R. F.; Record, K. A. F. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 2 1978, 822 and references therein).
29. The (Z) stereochemistry of N-sulfonylenamines was assigned by NMR on compound 14. The observation of a strong NOE signal between the olefinic hydrogen and the ortho-protons on the phenyl group, coupled with the absence of NOE of the latter with the methyl group, was of particular diagnostic value.
