In the reaction of 2-cyano-6-chloropyrazine with sodium .beta.-aminoethanolates a mixture of nitriles (1) and imidoesters (2) was formed in relation depending on the reaction conditions. Compounds 1 and 2 with H2S and triethylamine gave thioamides (3), which were converted into amides and amidoximes (5). Alkaline hydrolysis of the derivatives of 6-(.beta.-aminoethoxy)-pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid of type 1, 2, 3 and 5 gave 6-ethoxypyrazine-2-carboxylic acid. The highest antituberculous activity (62.5-125 .mu.g/cm3) was shown by 2 thioamides.
