Six capsaicinoids were synthesized ; homocapsaicin, norcapsaicin (IV), N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-6-methyl-hept-trans-4-enamide (V), homodihydrocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin, and N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-6-methylheptamide (VI), among which IV, V, and VI are new compounds. Their acid parts were synthesized in a good yield by the one-step method, i.e., anodic synthesis introduced by Linstead, et al. Infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectra of six capsaicinoids were examined.
