Electrochemical Synthesis Of Acetylpyrazine, Lin Mao, Dong-Fang Niu, Shuo-Zhen Hu, Xin-Sheng Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Acetylpyrazine is naturally presented in hazelnuts, peanuts, and sesame seeds. As an important food additive, it is widely used in baked foods, meat, sesame and tobacco. At the same time, acetylpyrazine is also an important pharmaceutical intermediate, which is used in the syntheses of anti-tuberculosis drugs, anti-tumor, anti-malaria, anti-viral, antibacterial and treatments of epilepsy, pain and Parkinson’s drugs. At present, the synthesis methods of acetylpyrazine include oxidation method, multi-step method and Grignard reagent method, which have the disadvantages of low yield, cumbersome process, severe reaction conditions and high cost. In this study, acetylation of pyrazine was used to synthesize acetylpyrazine …

Study On Electrochemical Conversion Of Ammonium Sulfate To Ammonium Persulfate In Acetylpyrazine Wastewater, Yi-Jie Wang, Dong-Fang Niu, Xin-Sheng Zhang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Acetylpyrazine is an important spice and also plays important roles in biology, medicine and other fields. However, the wastewater containing ammonium persulfate, ferric ion (Fe3+), pyrazine, and a large amount of ammonium sulfate was produced during the production of acetylpyrazine. In this study, ammonium sulfate in acetylpyrazine wastewater was electrolytically converted into ammonium persulfate for economic benefits. Using platinum as an anode and graphite as a cathode, the influence factors of the electrolysis process (including the composition of the anolyte, the current density, the temperature, etc.) were firstly investigated without interference from other compositions. Under the optimal condition, namely, the …
