Abstract

Nucleophilic substitution of hydrogen in pyrazine N-oxides under the action of CH-active compounds requires activation with acylating agents. This activation facilitates aromatization of intermediate σH adducts via elimination of the acid residue to form substituted pyrazines. More electrophilic 1,2,4-triazine 4-oxides react with carbanions derived from CH-active compounds without additional activation according to a scheme, which has previously been unknown for azine N-oxides. This scheme involves aromatization of σH adducts through elimination of water by the E1cb mechanism. The reaction products occur in DMSO-d6 solutions predominantly as 6-methylene-1,6-dihydropyrazines and 5-methylene-4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-triazines.
