36. N-Allylanilides 2a-2h in toluene were heated until the changes of E/Z ratios became negligible (reaction time described in Table 5). On the other hand, although thermal isomerization of franyl derivative 2i (E rotamer) was also investigated, the exact equilibrium ratio ((E)-2i/ (Z)-2i) could not be determined, because of the intramolecular Diels-Alder products generated from (Z)-2i.
