Four unknown compounds from the reactions of monosaccharides and asparagine have been positively identified by spectroscopic elucidation and synthesis as 3,5-dimethyl-6-ethyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone, 3,6-dimethyl-5-ethyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone, 3,5,6-trimethyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone, and 3-methyl-5,6-diethyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone, which are novel to model reaction studies.This group of compounds can be recognized as asparagine-specific Maillard products.The formation mechanism of them has been proposed.Basically, 3-aminosuccinimide, asparagine, and isoasparagine may be at an equilibriumstate.Condensation of isoasparagine and α-dicarbonyls (the degradation products of the monosaccharide) leads to the formation of 3-(carboxymethyl)-5,6-dialkyl-2(1H)-pyrazinones, decarboxylation of which generates 3-methyl-5,6-dialkyl-2(1H)-pyrazinones.Identification of this group of compounds from Maillard reaction was herein reported for the first time in literature.Keywords: Asparagine; fructose; glucose; rhamnose; alkylpyrazines; Maillard reaction; 3,6-dimethyl-5-ethyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone; 3,5-dimethyl-6-ethyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone; 3,5,6-trimethyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone; 3-methyl-5,6-diethyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone; 3,6-dimethyl-5-propyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone; 3,5-dimethyl-6-propyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone

1,2-Dihydropyrazin-2-one derivatives, which have two aminoalkyl groups at the positions 3 and 6, were found to be efficient tools for the construction of potent, selective and long-acting opioid mimetics. During the course of preparation, we found that the catalytic hydrogenation of 3,6- bis(benzyloxycarbonylaminomethyl)-5-methyl-1,2-dihydropyrazin-2-one to remove the benzyloxycarbonyl groups resulted in a side reaction. By MS and NMR studies and by preparation of additional 1,2-dihydropyrazin-2-one derivatives, the structure of the by-product was identified as 3-aminomethyl-5,6-dimethyl-1,2- dihydropyrazin-2-one. Preparation of additional compounds substituted with deuterium provided us with sufficient information to confirm the structure of the product and to support a cyclization mechanism in its formation.

The present invention provides pyrazines, pyridazines or pyrimidines, or salts or prodrugs thereof, substituted on one of the ring carbon atoms thereof with a non-aromatic azacyclic or azabicyclic ring system; and independently substituted on each of the other ring carbon atoms with a substituent of low lipophilicity or a hydrocarbon substituent; which compounds stimulate central muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and therefore are useful in the treatment of neurological and mental illnesses.
