Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of structurally flexible heterocycles with the 1,4-thiazine heterosystem

In this work, 4H-1,4-benzothiazines were synthesized by an efficient synthetic method in a single step involving heterocyclization of substituted 2-aminobenzenethiols with β-ketoester. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by their analytical and spectral data. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against bacterial species; E. coli and Bacillus cereus. The synthesized compounds showed significant activity against microorganisms, which can be correlated with the privileged heterocyclic structural scaffolds.
