73. This assignment is based on the position of the acetyl moiety relative to the naphthalene moiety in the upper half.

110. The composition of the photostationary state mixture was determined by comparison of the relative integrals of the absorptions of the stable and unstable isomers, specifically by using protons of the methyl substituent at the stereogenic center (δ = 0.54 in the stable isomer vs. 0.90 ppm in the unstable isomer) and the aromatic protons at δ= 7.6-7.9 ppm to compare the ratio of stable to unstable, and the absorptions of the methoxyl groups to evaluate cis:trans ratios.
