Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of the isomeric, highly distorted stilbenes 5b and 6b, are reported. X-ray analysis showed 5b to be twisted 36.7ͦ at the central double bond. Isomer 6b was unstable at room temperature, isomerizing back to 5b with Ea = 21°1.8 kcal/mol. MMP2 calculations, supported by direct observations, suggested 6b was an unsymmetrical structure twisted 73ͦ about the central double bond.
