2'-Azaflavonone (6) and 3'-azaflavonone (7); were synthesized by a simple environmentally friendly microwave-assisted one-pot method for the cyclization of 2'-hydroxy beta'-2-azachalcanon-beta-ol (1), 2'-hydroxy (E)-2-azachalcone (2), 2'-hydroxy (E)-3-azachalcone (3) under solventless conditions using K-10 clay. In addition to these synthesis, 3-(pyridin-2-yl methyl)-2'-azaflavone (8) and 3-(pyridin-3-yl methyl)-3'-azaflavone (9) were synthesized using silica-supported sodium hydrogen sulphate then the treatment with base, respectively. Additionally, for antimicrobial activities N-alkyl substituted 3'-azaflavonium and 2'-azaflavonium bromides (1012) were prepared from compounds 3, 4 -5 and 8 -9.
