A straightforward one-pot synthesis of pyrazines from ethylenediamine and 1, 2-diketones/ α-hydroxy ketone/α-bromo ketone under solvent-free conditions at room temperature is described. This environmentally benign process has the edge on previous methods in respect of workup procedure, ease and cost of reaction, and use and generation of hazardous substances. The catalyst is recovered, characterized, and proved to be recyclable for successive four runs examined with appreciable conversions.
Clean and green approach for one-pot synthesis of pyrazines from Eth-ylenediamine and 1,2-diketone or its analogues under neat reaction condition

Background: Compounds having N-heterocyclic moieties are of huge importance in the field of agrochemical, pharmaceutical, biological, fragrances, etc. Due to a lot of applications associated with pyrazine moieties, their synthesis has always been important for organic chemists. Method: Surfeit synthetic methodologies are documented in literature. Most of the methodologies used expensive solvents, harmful metal catalyst and all suffer from rigorous work-up procedures. An efficient, environmentally benign methodology, needs to be developed. We mixed ethylenediamine (2mmol) with 1, 2-diketone(1mmol), later, α-hydroxy ketone and α-bromo ketone on magnetic stirrer at room temperature under neat reaction condition for 5 to 10 hrs. Results: After purification by column chromatography using silica gel(60-120 mesh) and pet-ether, et-hylacetate mixture as eluent, we achieved pyrazine derivatives from moderate to high yield. Conclusio n: Efficient and clean procedure for one-pot preparation of pyrazines from ethylenediamine and 1, 2-diketones or with α-hydroxy ketone or with α-bromo ketone has been carried out under neat reaction condition at room temperature. Environmentally benign process furnishing moderate to excellent yields of the product and simple work-up giving pure products are special features of this reaction.
The Wolff-Kishner Reduction of 2-Acetonyl Pyrazines and Pyridines. A Novel Rearrangement
Paine III, John B.
, p. 1463 - 1465 (2007/10/02)
Wolff-Kishner reduction of 1-(6-methylpyrazin-2-yl)-2-propanone leads to the formation of 2-isopropyl-6-methylpyrazine (2a), in addition to the expected 6-methyl-2-n-propylpyrazine.The by-product 2a is suggested to arise via a spirocyclopropylidene aza-anion, which serves as a conduit between the initial less-stable secondary 1-(2-pyrazinyl)-2-propyl carbanion and the more stable primary 2-(2-pyrazinyl)-1-propyl carbanion.Similar results were observed for the 1-(3-methylpyrazin-2-yl) and 1-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-2-propanones.The extent of by-product formation diminished in the pyridine ring system.Electrophilic activation of the ring appears essential since the benzene ring analog phenylacetone gave no detectable cumene under identical reaction conditions.
Ueber die Synthese von 2,3-Dialkylpyrazinen

2,3-Dialkylquinoxalines (4), which are available from the reaction of benzofuroxan (1) with ketones and subsequent reduction of the 2,3-dialkylquinoxaline N,N'-dioxides (3), are converted to 2,3-dialkylpyrazines (6) by oxidation-decarboxylation steps.
