44. 1H NMR spectra to those of 1a and 1b. The olefinic proton of the E-isomers resonates at 8.1-8.0 ppm, whereas in the Z-isomers it resonates at 7.6-7.5 ppm.

46. 1H NMR spectra to that of 6a. The olefinic protons of these compounds resonate at 8.02-8.01 ppm, consistent with the chemical shifts of the corresponding protons in E-1a-c.

48. 1H NMR spectra recorded immediately after isolation of d-7a-c exhibited amide N-H signals attenuated by an amount consistent with the extent of proton incorporation at the α-position. Over time, the N-bound deuterium exchanged with protons derived from adventitious moisture and the amide signals returned to their normal levels of intensity. Attempts to block this exchange by performing radical conjugate additions on protected or tertiary amides were unsuccessful; the N-Boc derivative of 6a afforded reduction product exclusively, whereas N-PMB and N-Me versions were unreactive.
