Synthesis and antimicrobial activities of novel 1,4-benzothiazine derivatives

A series of 2H,4H-2-[3,5-dimethyl-4-(substituted) phenyl azo pyrazol-1-yl] carbonyl methyl-3-oxo-1,4-benzothiazine derivatives have been synthesized by the reaction of 2H,4H-2-hydrazino carbonyl methyl-3-oxo-1,4-benzothiazine with acetyl acetone derivatives using ultrasound in lesser time with higher yields. All the synthesized compounds were investigated for their antibacterial activities. The result indicated that the compounds show convincing activities against Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Streptococcus lactis) when compared with standard drug (ampicillin trihydrate). These compounds were also synthesized by conventional method and their structures have been elucidated on the basis of spectral analyses and chemical reactions
