Provided is an amide ester that is useful as an intermediate manufacturing product for an aroma compound such as spilanthol or the like. Also provided is a spilanthol manufacturing method using said amide ester. High-purity spilanthol can be manufactured by reacting an amide ester represented by general formula (1) with a basic compound. (In the formula, R 1 represents a phenyl group that may be substituted with a C 1 - 6 alkyl group and either a C 1 - 4 alkyl group, a C 1 - 4 alkoxy group, or a halogen atom; R 2 represents a C 1 - 8 hydrocarbon group; and the wavy lines represent cis configurations, trans configurations, or a mixture of the two configurations). |
