The intermediate ( 2), in turn, was prepared by the acetylation of 2-aminopyrazine ( 1) with chloroacetyl chloride. The structure of the newly synthesized compound is characterized by IR, NMR and mass spectral data. %K 1 %K 3 %K 4-oxadiazole %K pyrazine %K S-alkylation %K thioether %U http://www.mdpi.com/1422-8599/2013/2/M800
