284	Synthesis and biological evaluation of pyrido(2, 3-d)pyrimidine-carboxylate derivatives		Ethyl-5-amino-8-(4-halophenyl)-2-methyl-4,7-dioxo-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro pyrido(2,3-d) pyrimidine-6-carboxylate and ethyl-5-amino-8-(4-halophenyl)-2-amino-4,7 dioxo-3,4,5,6,7,8 hexahydropyrido(2,3-d)pyrimidine-6-carboxylate derivatives have been synthesized through nucleophilic substitution reactions. These novel derivatives have been screened for antibacterial, antifungal and antitumor activity.

310	Zinc(II) chloride catalysed one pot synthesis of some new 4-thiazolidinone derivatives as biologically potent agents		New derivatives of thiazolidin-4-ones have been synthesised by the cyclocondensation of thioglycolic acid/thiolacticacid, 2-amino benzothiazole and 2-chloro-3-formyl quinoline in the presence of ZnCl2.. All the compounds have been screened for their antimicrobial and antifungal activity against various microbes.

315	Studies on synthesis of various N-substituted derivatives with different heterocycles and their herbicidal activity		Coumarin 4-methyl acetates are oxidized to coumarin-4-methyl glyoxalate using SeO2. The oxidation is very selective for active methylene group, without affecting the COOH group protected with ester function. The product formed is analogous to the phenyl glyoxalic acid methyl ester and can be a useful moiety for various synthetic manipulations of heterocycles substituted at 4-position of the coumarin. Different heterocycles substituted at 4-position of the coumarin moiety have been synthesized. The herbicidal activity of these compounds has been evaluated using Zea Mays and Green Gram.

321	Synthesis of thiazolyltriazole substituted azetidinones as antimicrobial agents		Ethyl 2-amino-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylate 1 reacts with acetic anhydride and hydrazine hydrate to yield ethyl 2-acetamido-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylate 2 and N-(5-(hyd- razinecarbonyl)-4-methylthiazol-2-yl)acetamide 3. Reaction of 3 with alcoholic potassium hydroxide-carbon disulphide followed by hydrazine hydrate gives N-(5-(4-amino-5-mer- capto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-4-methylthiazol-2-yl)acetamide 5. This is then condensed with aromatic aldehydes to offer 6a-h which on cyclization with chloroacetyl chloride furnish 7a-h.

326	Spectral and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of (E)-4-chloro-N^′(2-hydroxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide		The structure and types of hydrogen bonding present in crystalline form of (E)-4-chloro-N^′(2-hydroxybenzylidene)benzohydrazide are envisaged from single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The topological analysis of hydrogen bonds indicates both inter and intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The presence of water molecule in crystal structure indicates mono hydrated form of the title compound.

330	Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of 1-aminomethyl-3-[4′-(4″-nitrobenzyloxy)-benzohydrazono]isatins		A new series of 1-aminomethyl-3-[4′-(4″-nitrobenzyloxy)-benzohydrazono]isatins (Mannich bases) have been synthesized and screened for their antimicrobial potential against human pathogenic bacteria and fungi. The structures of the compounds have been established by means of elemental analysis and spectral data.
