Pyrazines are ubiquitous in nature – biosynthesized by microorganisms, insects, and plants. Due to their great structural diversity, they own manifold biological functions. Alkyl‐ and alkoxypyrazines for instance play a key role as semiochemicals, but also as important aroma compounds in foods. Espe...
