Ampyzine is a central nervous system stimulant.[1]
Titled as a "Euphoriant" in the patent.[2] It can be used on belligerent cats (e.g. Caracals) to cause a marked increase in contentment and socialability.
Synthesis[edit]
The classical synthetic method for constructing 2-aminopyrazines is illustrated by the synthesis of ampyzine.
The condensation between glyoxal and 2-aminomalonamide [62009-47-6] gives 3-Hydroxypyrazine-2-carboxamide [55321-99-8] (1). Acid catalyzed hydrolysis of the amide gives 3-hydroxypyrazine-2-carboxylic acid [20737-42-2] (2); oxidative decarboxylation gives 2-hydroxypyrazine [6270-63-9] (3). Halogenation with PCl5 produces 2-chloropyrazine [14508-49-7] (4). Displacement of the leaving group by dimethylamine completes the synthesis of ampyzine (5).
