An efficient and green method for synthesizing 3‐methyl‐4‐(hetero)arylmethylene isoxazole‐5(4H)‐ones was developed using a recyclable and environmental‐friendly catalyst, Na2S2O3, and 16 target compounds were successfully synthesized under the obtained optimal reaction condition. Using rifampicin as a positive control, the antibacterial activity of all synthesized compounds was tested by micro dilution method, among them, 3‐methyl‐4‐ [(2,4‐dimethoxyphenyl) methylene] ‐ isoxazole‐5‐one (4m) presented wonderful antimicrobial activity, which may contribute to the development of anti‐tuberculosis drugs.
