Regioselective facile one-pot synthesis of 16 different sugar-based quinoline, naphthyridine, and xanthone derivatives is reported. The compounds are characterized by NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The beta-Anomeric form of the sugar moiety was identified from (1)H NMR studies. Antimicrobial studies of these sugar-heterocyclic derivatives, 3a, 3b, 3f, 5c, 7a, 7b, and 7c show excellent activity against different microbes.
