Synthesis and antibacterial activity of some new heterocycles incorporating phthalazine.

3-(1,4-Dioxo-3,4,4e,5,10,10a-hexahydro-1H-5,10-benzeno-benzo[g]phthalazin-2-yl)-3-oxo-propiononitrile (1) was utilized as key intermediate for the synthesis of some new iminocoumarin 2, chromenone 3, aminothiazole 4, triazepine 5a, b and 6, hydrazono-propiononitrile 7, pyridopyrazotriazine 8, monobromo 9, dibromo 10 quinoxaline 11, ketene N,S-acetal 13, ketene S,S-diacetal 17 and 18a, b and methyl dithioate 20 derivatives, respectively. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and mass spectral studies. Representative compounds of the synthesized product were tested and evaluated as antibacterial agent.
