title: Microwave-assisted synthesis of N-isobutyl-4,5-epoxy-2(E)-decenamide.
abstract: A new and efficient synthesis of a naturally occurring amide alkaloid, N-isobutyl-4,5-epoxy-2(E)-decenamide isolated from the roots of Piper nigrum has been described involving a total of nine steps. Octanal and 2-bromoacetic acid have been used as the starting materials.
