Deprotonation of ethyl ( E )‐2‐alkenoates 1 , 3 and 4 yields after protonation the double bond migrated (3 Z )‐isomers 5 , 7 and 9 as major products. In contrast, deprotonation and reprotonation of ethyl ( Z )‐2‐pentenoate ( 2 ) gives the (3 E )‐isomer 6 exclusively. These findings are explained by reaction paths starting from different ester conformations.
