This difference is probably due to the effect of the electron withdrawing phenyl group of the former and the electron donating ethyl group of the latter. The spectrum of the weighted average of the two rotamers of each of 1 and 2 is observed at elevated tempera­ture (90°). The aldehyde proton of the (\(E\)) rotamers and H-7 of the (\( Z\)) rotamers resonate at higher frequencies than the corresponding protons of the other rotamers because of the deshielding effect of the benzene ring on the former and of the magnetic anisotlopy of the carbonyl group on the latter. The barriers to internal rotation about:the N—C bond of the (\(E\)) and (\( Z\)) onligurations of 1 have been determined and discussed in terms of electronic effect.
