15. All yields reported are for chromatographically purified products. All E/Z ratios reported were determined on crude reaction mixtures by GC/MS; in some cases, slight variation was observed following chromatographic purification (ref 10). E/Z assignments were based on NOE studies; also usefully diagnostic is the fact that =CH cis to Br (or I) is uniformly at larger chemical shift relative to =CH trans to Br (or I). For an unambiguous example supporting this, see: Brown, H. C.; Bhat, N. G.; Rajagopalan, S. Synthesis 1986, 480-482.
