title: Synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical pyrazines.
abstract: Opening of representative epoxides with 1,2-amino alcohols delivered the amino diols. The product amino diols were then oxidized under Swern conditions. The amino diketones so prepared were not isolated, but were condensed directly with hydroxylamine to give the substituted pyrazines.
