Synthesis of a series of novel tetrahydroquinoline annulated heterocycles has been accomplished by intramolecular imino and bisimino Diels-Alder reaction. These compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activity. All the synthetic compounds, exhibited good antibacterial activity against microorganisms of which one of them 7 was found to be as active as the antibiotic ciplofloxacin and is found to have MIC value of 2.5 mg/mL against Escherichia coli.
