Studies on pyrazines, Part 39.1 Synthesis and acidic hydrolysis of 2-hydroxy-5-methoxypyrazine
2-Hydroxy-5-methoxypyrazine was synthesised in a three-step reaction sequence starting from aminopyrazine. The product was extensively destroyed on acidic workup without forming 2,5-dihydroxypyrazine.

1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of benzonitrile oxide to 2(1II)-pyrazinone and its n- and o-methyl derivatives
2(1H)-Pyrazinone, which is in equilibrium with 2-pyrazinol, reacts with benzonitrile oxide (BNO) affording the N-adducl with a 67% yield, while 2-methoxypyrazine gives two methoxypyrazinones (ca. 3%) and a biscycloadduct together with its degradation product, which derive from the two unisolable monocycloadducts to the C=N4 double bond. Af-Methylpyrazinone gives only the degradation product (3.4%) of the initial monocycloadduct of BNO to C=N4: double bond.
