Abstract

The *1( NMR spectrometry of 1-(2-furyl)-2-methoxycarbonyl-4-(5-X-2-furyl)butadienes showed the double bonds of the butadiene backbone to have E, E, or E, Z configurations and s-trans conformation. The unsubstituted furan ring is in an s-cis conformation with respect to the double bond of the butadiene chain. The E, E isomers and the E, Z isomers have the substituted furan ring out of the butadiene backbone plane.
