833	Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of some new cyanopyridine and cyanopyrans towards Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other microorganisms		2-Amino-3-cyano-6-(3,5-dibromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-4-aryl-pyridines 2a-i are synthesized by the reaction of compounds (2E)-3-(3,5-dibromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-1-arylprop-2-en-1-one 1a-i with malononitrile in the presence of ammonium acetate. Condensation of compounds 1a-i with malononitrile in pyridine has yielded 2-amino-3-cyano-6-(3,5-dibromo-4-methoxyphenyl)-4-arylpyrans 3a-i. The constitution of all the synthesized compounds have been established by elemental analyses, IR, ^1H NMR, and mass spectral data. All the compounds are screened for their antitubercular and antimicrobial activities.

853	Novel synthesis and biological activity study of pyrimido[2,1-b] benzothiazoles		A convenient and apparently simple procedure has been developed to prepare a series of substituted pyrimido [2,1-b] benzothiazoles by the conjugate addition of the imino nitrogen of 2-aminobenzothiazoles to alkyne b-carbon atom of acetylenic acid followed by ring closure. Owing to the biological importance of synthesized compounds, they are screened for antimicrobial activity and found to exhibit significant activities.
