86. DFT calculations on the relative stability of the E and Z isomers of different 1-propenyl-benzenes have been recently performed by Strukul and co-workers (see ref. 16h). The calculations clearly indicate that the relative stability of the E vs. Z isomers increases with temperature.
87. The combined use of MW-irradiation, as a nonclassical low-energy-consuming heating source, and water, as an environmentally friendly solvent, to perform organic reactions has recently emerged as a promising new field of research.
