Various primary and secondary amines, including amino acid methyl esters, were used as nucleophiles in palladium-catalysed aminocarbonylation of 2-iodopyridine, 3-iodopyridine and iodopyrazine. N-Substituted nicotinamides and 3-pyridyl-glyoxylamides (2-oxo-carboxamide type derivatives) of potential biological importance can be obtained from 3-iodopyridine as a result of simple and double carbon monoxide

In the reactions of 2,3-pyrazinedicarboxylic anhydride with amines and anilines, pyrazine carboxamides are formed in good to excellent yields. A mechanism is proposed involving ring opening of the anhydride and decarboxylation of the heterocyclic ring. Based on other similar heterocyclic decarboxylations, this suggests the involvement of an N-heterocyclic carbene intermediate leading to the product

An unsaturated diketopiperazine derivative with a tricyclic alpha, beta-dehydrodipeptide structure was isolated as a reaction intermediate in the hydrogenation of pyrazine-2-(methyl-(S)-prolinecarboxamide). The diastereoselective hydrogenation of this dehydrodipeptide was studied using various noble metals (Pd, Pt, Rh, and Ru) supported on charcoal. The hydrogenation over Pd, Rh, and Ru catalysts proceeded with a high diastereoselectivity (71-79%), and the diastereomer with the (S)-configuration on both chiral carbon atoms was formed preferentially. The reaction rates and diastereoselectivities of the hydrogenation over the Pd, Rh, and Ru catalysts were similar, while the platinum catalyst was much less active and selective (48% d.e.). The obtained results were compared with those of the hydrogenation of pyrazine-2-(methyl-(S)-prolinecarboxamide); two different pathways for the hydrogenation of this molecule were suggested. In one path, cyclization already occurs after hydrogenation to the tetrahydropyrazine molecule, and in the other path cyclization occurs after full hydrogenation of the pyrazine molecule.
