2-Ethoxypyrazine is an organic compound characterized by its pyrazine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing two nitrogen atoms. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive earthy, green, or herbaceous odor, often associated with bell peppers and other vegetables. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. 2-Ethoxypyrazine is primarily used in the flavor and fragrance industry, contributing to the aroma profiles of various food products and beverages, particularly in wine. Its chemical formula is C6H8N2O, and it features an ethoxy group (-OCH2CH3) attached to the pyrazine ring, which influences its reactivity and sensory properties. The compound is of interest in both synthetic organic chemistry and natural product research due to its unique characteristics and potential applications in enhancing flavor profiles. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested in significant quantities.

2-Ethoxypyrazine is an organic compound that is synthesized by the nucleophilic attack of formic acid on ethylene. It has been shown to be a potent insecticide and kills insects by inhibiting their respiratory system. 2-Ethoxypyrazine has also been found to have neurotoxic effects, which may be due to its ability to inhibit cholinesterase activity. The elimination rate for this compound is slow and it can accumulate in the body, which may cause toxicity.
