Abstract
The conformational structure of the title compounds has been investigated by application of EHT calculations, 1H and 13C NMR spectral measurements, and calculated/found electrical dipole moments. It has been proved that compounds Ia-Ie and IIa-IIf obtained by thermodynamically-controlled Knoevenagel condensation are all E isomers. The dipole moment of compound Ia indicates a partially dipolar structure.
