toxic reagents for the synthesis and, more notably, it improved the selectivity for (Z)-acrylonitrile derivatives. By performing DFT calculations, it was found that the (Z)-isomer of compound 2b is stabilized by 2.61 kcal mol−1 more than the (E)-isomer. All of the compounds were tested for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition. Compounds 2a and 4c, displayed the strongest inhibition, with IC50 values of
