33. The same reaction with a 1:14 (E/Z) mixture of 14a took 7 h to give 1e in 92% yield.
34. The reduction in an aprotic solvent required a longer reaction time; the reaction of 14a (3:1 = E/Z) in DMA for 40 h resulted in the formation of 1e in 67% yield with a 29% recovery of 14a as a 1:3 (E/Z) mixture. No reaction occurred with (Z)-14a.
