Abstract:Symmetrically functionalized pyrazine of 3,6‐dibromopyrazine‐2,5‐dicarbonitrile was synthesized in three or four steps from 3‐aminopyrazinecarbonitrile or its 6‐bromo derivatives.
X-shaped push–pull molecules based on dicyanopyrazine were designed, synthesized and experimentally/theoretically investigated. They proved to be tunable photoredox catalysts in selected chemical transformations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
