Abstract:The hydrohalides of 2‐sec‐aminoalkanenitriles on treatment with oxalyl halides in o‐dichlorobenzene at 80‐100° give 3, 5‐dihalo‐2(1H)‐pyrazinones, of which the 3‐halo substituent is easily replaced by nucleophiles. A reaction mechanism for the pyrazinone synthesis is proposed.
An intramolecular Diels−Alder strategy using 2(1H)-pyrazinones was applied to generate a substituted perhydro-1,7-naphthyridine ring system that served as a scaffold to construct the type VI β-turn mimic 2, featuring a cis-amide linkage between the central i+1 and i+2 residues. The synthesis permits mimicking of the amino acid side chains of the central dipeptide, a unique feature for external-turn mimics.

“…The short and highly versatile synthesis of 3,5-dichloro-2(1H)-pyrazinones [1] is the starting point for many of the synthetic methods developed in our group.…”
“…This explains their potential to inhibit specific metal-containing enzymes involved in human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] [2][3][4] and cancer progression (histone deacetylases [HDACs], mitochondrial membrane permeabilities [MMPs], ribonucleotide reductase [RNR]) [5][6][7]. Our group has previously been working on the design and synthesis of highly functionalized pyrazinones [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. In the current paper, we focus on our newly developed synthesis of N-hydroxypyrazinones.…”
This paper describes the selective and reproducible debenzylation of benzyloxypyrazinones using flow chemistry to yield N-hydroxypyrazinones. Flow methodology enabled us to avoid overreduction of the compounds to pyrazin-2 (1H)-ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
