2-Pyrazinecarboxylicacid, 3-(methylamino)-

Description:

2-Pyrazinecarboxylic acid, 3-(methylamino)-, also known as 3-(methylamino)pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its pyrazine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing two nitrogen atoms. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) and a methylamino group (-NH(CH3)-) attached to the pyrazine ring. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols due to the presence of the carboxylic acid group. The compound exhibits properties typical of both carboxylic acids and amines, including potential acidity and basicity, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in various chemical environments. It may be used in pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. As with many nitrogen-containing heterocycles, it may also exhibit interesting biological activities, making it a subject of interest in medicinal chemistry.
