Naphthalene is a hydrocarbon produced by the distillation of coal tar and is an aromatic white crystalline substance. Naphthalene is the most abundant component in coal tar. It is used as an insect repellant and insect fumigant. The compound is used in the manufacture of celluloid, dyes, hydrogenated naphthalenes, oil fumes, smokeless powders and synthetic resins.
Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds have a wide range of applications in medicine, organic materials, natural products and other fields, mainly for biologically active molecules. Pyrrolopyrazines contain pyrrole and pyrazine rings as bioactive scaffolds. Compounds containing this scaffold have a wide range of biological activities, such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, antitumor, and kinase inhibition.
