2-Ethenyl-6-methylpyrazine

Description:

2-Ethenyl-6-methylpyrazine is an organic compound characterized by its pyrazine ring, which is a six-membered aromatic heterocycle containing two nitrogen atoms. This compound features a vinyl group (ethenyl) at the 2-position and a methyl group at the 6-position of the pyrazine ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, often described as nutty or roasted, which makes it of interest in flavor and fragrance applications. The presence of the double bond in the ethenyl group can make it reactive, particularly in polymerization reactions. 2-Ethenyl-6-methylpyrazine is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. Its chemical structure allows for various interactions, making it a potential candidate for use in synthetic chemistry and as a building block in the development of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
