2-(1-Hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-3-methoxypyrazine

CAS: 38346-80-4

2-(1-Hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-3-methoxypyrazine is a metabolite of the compound crocatus, which is found in the soil. Crocatus has been shown to inhibit the biosynthesis of geosmin, a volatile organic compound that can be responsible for the earthy or musty smells often associated with wet soils. 2-(1-Hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-3-methoxypyrazine is also produced by the myxobacterium species Chondromyces crocatus, and it has been shown that this metabolite inhibits bacterial growth by binding to RNA polymerase. This process prevents transcription, leading to cell death.
