Reaction Steps

Dehydrated tetramethylpyrazine is dissolved into an organic solvent and then NBS is added at a mole ratio of tetramethylpyrazine to NBS=1:(0.5-0.7). The reaction liquid is then refluxed to react for 10-12 h. 2-bromomethyl-3,5,6-trimethyl pyrazine is obtained as a pale-red half-oily substance after post-treatment purification.
