Abstract

In order to show the advantages and limitations of organic electrosynthesis in the total synthesis of a natural product, one of the promising green chemistry techniques in organic chemistry, the synthesis of N-isobutyl-(2E, 6Z)-dodecadienamide (3) was undertaken. Chemical and electrochemical routes that use the same intermediates were used to carry out the syntheses. Four reactions were compared from a green chemistry point of view in ...
