Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name2,5-Dimethylpyrazine
Description2,5-Dimethylpyrazine, C6H8N2, also known as 2,5-DMP, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrazines. Pyrazines are compounds containing a pyrazine ring, which is a six-member aromatic heterocycle, that consists of two nitrogen atoms (at positions 1 and 4) and four carbon atoms. Alkylpyrazines are chemical compounds based on pyrazine with different substitution patterns. 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine is a moderately basic, colorless to pale yellow clear liquid that is almost insoluble in water and is soluble in alcohol. It has a nutty, peanut, musty, earthy, powdery and slightly roasted with a cocoa powder odor and has a musty, potato, cocoa, nutty, fatty, oily taste ( Ref:DOI ).  2,5-Dimethylpyrazine is found in highest concentration in kohlrabis and has been detected in green vegetables, soy beans, asparagus, tortilla chips, baked potato, black or green tea, crispbread, French fries, malt, peated malt, raw asparagus, roasted barley, roasted filberts or pecans, squid, wheat bread, wild rice (Zizania aquatica), wort and fenugreeks. This could make 2,5-dimethylpyrazine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Some alkylpyrazines are naturally occurring highly aromatic substances which often have a very low odor threshold and contribute to the taste and aroma of various foods including coffee and wines. Alkylpyrazines are also formed during the cooking of some foods via Maillard reactions, which is a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that gives browned food its distinctive flavor ( Ref:DOI ). It is used as a flavor additive and odorant in foods such as cereals and products such as cigarettes. It is used to impart fried notes to potato (PMID: 5842022 ), beer and chicken flavors. 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine is also a constituent of cannabis smoke. It is volatilized during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
