Some 2-hydroxy-3-carbethoxy-5,6-dialkylpyrazines were synthesized by reacting the hydrochlorides of α-amino ketones with carbethoxyacetyl chloride in the presence of N,N-di-ethylaniline, azo-coupling the obtained N-(carbethoxyacetyl)-α-amino ketones with phenyldiazonium salt, and reduction of the intermediate N-(phenylhydrazonocarbethoxyacetyl)-α-amino ketones with zinc.
