✦ Synopsis


Quaternization of alkynyl substituted pyrazines with triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate in dichloromethane occurs exclusively at N-4 yielding 3-alkynyl-lethylpyrazinium salts, as shown by the 13C NMR data. Protonation of the same pyrazines with trifluoroacetic acid also occurs at N-4. The quaternary as well as the protonated pyrazines undergo an intramolecular Die E yrazinium salts -Alder reaction under considerably milder conditions than the corresponding neutral pyrazines. The products of the reactions were @annelated quaternary pyridinium salts and [cJannelated protonated pyridinium cations, respectively.
