We have synthesized a series of previously unreported azo dyes via the azo coupling of alkyl substituted dipyrrolopyrazines with aryldiazonium chloride. For this type of substrate where one or both α-positions of the pyrrole rings of the molecules are not occupied by substituents, electrophilic attack was found to occur initially at carbon atom C(3).
