Reaction Steps

d. 2,5-Dimethyl-3,6-diisopropyl-pyrazine was prepared by first forming 4-methyl-3-oximino-2-pentanone by reacting 4-methyl-2-pentanone with nitrosyl chloride according to the method of BOUVEAULT, Bull. [3] 31, 1163 (1904). The autocondensation of two moles of the imino-ketone in the presence of zinc and acetic acid [according to the method described in Chimia, 11, 310 (1957)] yielded 2,5-Dimethyl-3,6-diisopropyl-pyrazine which had a b.p. of 91° C./8 mm. Hg.
