Reaction of aminocyanoacetamide with bromomethylpyruvaldoxime provided 3‐amino‐6‐bromomethyl‐2‐carbamoylpyrazine 4‐oxide (7) , which was converted to a pyrazine analogue (3) of methotrexate by subsequent condensation with diethyl N ‐[4‐(methylamino)benzoyl]‐L‐glutamate, deoxygenation, and hydrolysis. The methotrexate analogue 3 was a poor inhibitor (I 50 > 150 μM) of bacterial or mammalian dihydrofolate reductase.
