31. 3 were tested: results were not distinguishable with the one from the reaction without any additive.
32. Fe(III) citrate was less effective.
33. 3 was used with water since the hydrate was a stony solid and difficult to handle.

35. It is comparatively difficult to isolate pure pyrazine N-oxides. As hydrogenation of the N-oxide normally proceeds very cleanly to give the desired pyrazines in high yield (>90%), yields given in Table 1 should reflect to yields for N-oxides.
