Abstract

Abstract A convenient synthesis of substituted 5-(D, L)-erythro-1′, 2′-dihydroxypropyl) pyrazines from crotonic acid 4 is described. The anomalous behavior during decarboxylation of functionalized 2-oximino-3-oxoesters 8a, b is noted. The structures of prepared compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods.
