Recent Advances in Pyazine Chemistry
Abstract
Publisher This chapter discusses the recent advances in pyazine chemistry. Pyrazine, or 1,4–diazine is a highly symmetrical molecule. Synthetic pyrazines exhibit a wide range of physiological activity, in some cases superior to those of pyridine or pyrimidine analogs. Alkylpyrazines are important flavor constituents of roasted food products such as coffee, cocoa, and peanuts; coffee, for instance, contains 2-isopropyl-5-methylpyrazine. Pyrazine …
