Aminolysis of sucrose

Apart from the synthetieally useful methods of synthesis described above, derivatives of this ring system have been obtained in low yields by a variety of methods. Aminolysis of sucrose with ethylenediamine, " pyrolysis of actinomycin Pip-2, and photochemical degradation of di-quat have all produced pyrido[l,2-a]pyrazines. Hydrogenation of...
