Four unknown compounds from the reactions of monosaccharides and asparagine have been positively identified by spectroscopic elucidation and synthesis-as 3,5-dimethyl-6-ethyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone, 3,6-dimethyl-5-ethyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone, 3,5,6-trimethyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone, and 3-methyl-5,6-diethyl-2(1H)-pyrazinone, which are novel to model reaction studies. This group of compounds can be recognized as asparagine-specific Maillard products. The formation mechanism of them has been proposed. Basically, 3-aminosuccinimide, asparagine, and isoasparagine may be at an equilibrium state. Condensation of isoasparagine and alpha-dicarbonyls (the degradation products of the monosaccharide) leads to the formation of 3-(carboxymethyl)-5,6-dialkyl-2(1H)-pyrazinones, decarboxylation of which generates 3-methyl-5,6-dialkyl-2(1H)-pyrazinones. Identification of this group of compounds from Maillard reaction was herein reported for the first time in literature.
