Reaction Steps

2,5-Dimethyl-3,6-dihexyl-pyrazine was prepared by first forming 3-oximino-2-nonanone by reacting 2-nonanone with nitrosyl chloride according to the method of BOUVEAULT (loc.cit.). 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-dihexyl-pyrazine which had a b.p. of 112°-120° C./0.01 mm. Hg.
