Abstract

2,3-Diphenyl quinoxaline (SI) was fused with 2-amino benzothiazoles (SII) by a methylene bridge, which was then allowed for acetylation. The acetylated product (SIV) was made to react with different aromatic aldehydes to give chalcones (SV1-SV5). Chalcones refluxed with substituted acid hydrazides to afford different phenyl pyrazolo benzothiazolo quinoxaline derivatives (SVI1-SVI15). The structure of chalcones and phenyl pyrazolo benzothiazolo quinoxaline derivatives were confirmed by M.P, TLC and spectral data. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities.
