Purpose:
Food industry: As an edible spice (flavor enhancer), it is used to prepare meat, chocolate, peanuts, popcorn and other essence, which are allowed to be used according to GB2760-86 in China.
Pharmaceutical industry: As a pharmaceutical intermediate, it is used to synthesize important compounds such as first-line anti tuberculosis drugs pyrazinamide and 2-cyanopyrazine.
Other uses: Used in the dye industry, organic synthesis, and as an identification reagent (such as identifying components in chili oil).
============================================================================
Synthesis route: 2-methylpyrazine can be prepared by reacting ethylenediamine and 1,2-propanediol as raw materials in a fixed bed microreactor in the presence of a catalyst (such as nanoscale mixed metal oxides). The specific conditions include: H ?/N ? molar ratio of 1, reaction temperature of 380 ℃, water phase reactants injected into the reactor through a pump, nitrogen as a diluent gas, and products collected by condensation.
