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.n(1)n(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.) |
