1271	Synthesis, characterization and pharmacological studies on some triazolothiadiazines and triazolothiadiazoles containing naphtho[2,1-b]furan		Reaction of naphtho[2,1-b]furan-2-carboxyhydrazide 1 with carbon disulphide and ethanolic potassium hydroxide followed by treating with hydrazine hydrate/phenyl hydrazine yields 4-amino/anilino-5-naphtho[2,1-b] furan - 2 –yl - 4H -1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols 2a,b. These compounds on reaction with chloroacetic acid, carbon disulphide, aromatic aldehydes and carboxylic acids, separately, undergo cycloaddition to produce corresponding triazolothiadi azines/tri azolothiadiazoles. Some of the selected compounds are evaluated for pharmacological activity.

1277	Electrochemical nuclear acetamidation of aromatic compounds at the platinum anode		The nuclear acetamidation of aromatic compounds have been carried out at platinum anode under the process of nuclear oxidation. The removal of electrons from the aromatic π-electron system is achieved by the electrochemical oxidation.

1281	Synthesis and antiallergy activity of 2-aryl-5-aroylmethylimidazo [1,2-a]quinoxalin-4-one		Quinoxaline-2,3-diones have been alkylated with phenacyl bromides using K2CO3, acetone and PTC to give 1,4-bis(aroylmethyl)quinoxaline-2,3-diones which when refluxed in acetic acid containing ammonium acetate yield the imidazo 1,2-aquinoxalines. Antiallergy activity of these compounds is discussed.

1284	Synthesis and in vitro study of novel isoxazolyl benzoimidazolyl benzamides, acrylamides and propionamides as antimicrobial agents		A series of novel 2/3 (1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)-N-(5-methyl-3-isoxazolyl)benzamides, acrylamides and propionamides have been synthesized and the antimicrobial activities are evaluated against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria and two plant-pathogenic fungi.

1308	Lipase catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of (R)-melonol		Among three different lipases tested, pig pancreatic lipase (PPL) has been found to be suitable for transesterification of (±)-melonol to afford (R)-melonol with an enatiomeric excess of 94%. Moreover, lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of (±)-melonol acetate yields (S)-melonol.
