Quaternization of alkynyl substituted pyrazines with triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate in dichloromethane occurs exclusively at N-4 yielding 3-alkynyl-1-ethylpyrazinium salts, as shown by the 13C NMR data.Protonation of the same pyrazines with trifluoroacetic acid also occurs at N-4.The quaternary pyrazinium salts as well as the protonated pyrazines undergo an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction under considerably milder conditions than the corresponding neutral pyrazines.The products of the reactions were -annelated quaternary pyridinium salts and -annelated protonated pyridinium cations, respectively.
