The invention discloses a synthesis method for converting a Z-alkenyl
amide compound into an E-alkenyl
amide compound, and belongs to the technical field of
organic synthesis. The method comprises the following steps: mixing and dissolving a Z-alkenyl
amide compound and
iodine in an
organic solvent at
room temperature, stirring for 10-30 minutes, and carrying out post-treatment on the obtained reaction liquid to obtain the E-alkenyl amide compound. Compared with a traditional
alkene amide configuration
isomerization method promoted by alkali in a hot
solvent, the method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of simple materials, mild
reaction conditions, short reaction time, high yield, simplicity and convenience in operation, easiness in
solvent recovery and the like, and meets the requirements of developing green and environment-friendly
chemistry; the substrate selection range and the functional group compatibility have wider universality, and the method can also be used for synthesizing natural products. The method is used for optimizing the synthesis strategy of part of
drug molecules, can improve the synthesis efficiency and reduce the cost, and has industrial synthesis value and prospect.
