Synthesis and Biological Activity of N‐2 Alkylamino Derivatives of 4,5‐Dihydro‐s‐triazolo[3,4‐d]‐1,5‐benzothiazepine

The synthesis of a new series of N-2 alkylamino derivatives of 4,5-dihydro-s-triazolo[3,4-d]-1,5-benzothiazepine has been accomplished starting from 2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepin-4(5H)ones and their 2-methyl and 2-aryl derivatives. All the compounds were tested in vitro for their antimicrobial activity, but none of them showed remarkable activity. The tricyclic compounds 7a-j, 8a-j, 9a-j, 10a-j, and 11a-j were also screened for their CNS activity in mice and several of them showed interesting activity.
