Abstract
2-(1′,2′,3′,4′-Tetrahydroxybutyl)-5-(2″,3″,4″-trihydroxybutyl) -pyrazine, a precursor of 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and methylpyrazine, was synthesized by reaction of D-glucosamine hydrochloride with boronic acid. The product was characterized by LC-MS,()~(13)CNMR,and FT-ICRMS. It was found that the title compound added to tobacco was pyrolyzed to produce 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and methylpyrazine in tobacco smoke, giving cigarettes better after-taste and aroma.
