Alternatively, when A' is hydroxy, the cephalosporin can also exist as the lactone which is formed by internal esterification with the carboxy group.
The substituent A' can also be a group of the general formula
wherein Y.sub.1 represents amino or substituted amino including nitrogen heterocycles and substituted heterocyclic groups. Examples of such groups that might be mentioned are amino, acetamido, carbamoylamino, N,N-dimethylamino, N-(2-chloroethyl)amino, 5-cyanotriazol-1-yl, 4-methoxycarbonyltriazol-1-yl.
When A.sup.1 is amino the cephalosporin compound can also exist as the lactam formed by loss of water with the adjacent carboxy group.
Representative of the quaternary ammonium groups representing A.sup.1 that might be mentioned are pyridinium, lower alkyl (1-6 carbon atoms), pyridinium or halopyridinium such as 3-methylpyridinium, 4-methylpyridinium, 3-chloropyridinium, 3-bromopyridinium, 3-iodopyridinium; aminopyridinium, 4-carbamoylpyridinium, 4-(N-hydroxymethylcarbamoyl)pyridinium, 4-(N-carbomethoxycarbamoyl)pyridinium, 4-(N-cyanocarbamoyl)-pyridinium, 4-(carboxymethyl)pyridinium, 4-(hydroxymethyl)-pyridinium, 4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridinium, quinolinium, picolinium and lutidinium.

The acyl groups of interest include a loweralkanoyl group of 2-6 carbon atoms, carbamoyl, or thiocarbamoyl and N-alkyl or N,N-dialkyl derivatives thereof. The alkyl group of the foregoing substituents contains 1-6 carbon atoms and may be further substituted by radicals such as alkoxy, halo, amino, cyano, carboxy, sulfo, and the like.
It may be noted that the substituent at the 3-position of the nucleus may be converted to or readily replaced by other A.sup.1 substituents pursuant to methods well known in this art. For example, upon treating the 3-acetoxymethyl substituted material of this invention with a suitable reagent or combination of reagents, it is possible to substitute various substituents for acetoxy at the 3-position of the nucleus. Suitable reagents include, for example, isocyanates; alkali metal toluenesulfinates, alkali metal azide, polyhydroxybenzene, N-loweralkyl indole, thiourea, mercaptans, thiocyanates, heterocyclic thiols, cycloalkyl xanthates, pyridine, thiobenzoic acid, N-alkyl and N,N-dialkylthioureas or alkali metal N-alkyl and N,N-dialkylthiocarbamates and the like.
Thus by reaction wih a heterocyclic thiol, for example 1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrazole-5-thiol or 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, the 3-acetoxymethyl material is converted to the corresponding heterothiomethyl compound.
Also, by reaction with a quaternary ammonium compound, for example pyridine, the 3-acetoxymethyl is converted to the corresponding 3-pyridiummethyl compound. Alternatively, the 3-acetoxymethyl material upon treatment with citrus acetylesterase are converted to the corresponding 3-hydroxymethyl compounds which can be acylated to produce other 3-acyloxymethyl including carbamoyloxymethyl, or acylthiomethyl compounds. Similarly, other 3-substituted compounds are prepared following procedures well known in this art.
Thus, the acetoxy group of such compounds can be cleaved to produce the corresponding 3-hydroxymethyl compound by enzymatic hydrolysis with acetylesterase. The resulting hydroxy group may then be reacted to form other substituents at the 3-position. For example, the 3-hydroxy group may be re-esterified with a lower alkanoic acid group or with an aryl acid group by employing acylating agents such as a lower alkyl or aryl carboxylic acid halide or anhydride, a substituted carbamoyl halide, a lower alkyl isocyanate, or phosgene and a secondary amine.
The 3-acetoxy group may also be converted to other analogs by replacing the acetoxy group with nitrogen or sulfur nucleophiles. Many nitrogen and sulfur nucleophiles are well known in the cephalosporin art and the following examples are merely illustrative of the type of compound which may be employed; for example, a tertiary amine such as pyridine and the like, a 5-membered heterocyclic thiol such as 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazolyl-2-thiol, N-methyltetrazolylthio and the like. Alternatively, the 3-acetoxy group can be cleaved by catalytic hydrogenation to afford the 3-methyl compounds.
One method for the introduction of an N,N-diloweralkylcarbamoyloxymethyl or heterocyclic aminocarbonyloxyethyl moiety at position 3 of the instant products consists in treating a 3-hydroxymethyl analog such as a 3-hydroxymethyl-7-methoxy-7-(2-thienylacetamido)-1-methylene-dethia-ceph-3 -em-4-carboxylic acid with phosgene and a diloweralkylamine in the presence of a base. In this manner the following products can be obtained: sodium dl-3-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyloxymethyl)-7-methoxy-7-(2-thienylacetamido)-1-m ethylenedethiaceph-3-em-4-carboxylate and sodium dl-3-(pyrrolidinylcarbonyloxymethyl)-7-methoxy-7-(2-thienylacetamido)1-met hylenedethia-ceph-3-em-4-carboxylate.
The N-mono substituted carbamoyloxyethylcephalosporin products are obtained by treating a 3-hydroxymethyl-material with a suitable isocyanate.
The unsubstituted carbamoyloxymethyl may be obtained by cleaving an N mono- or di-substituted carbamoyloxymethyl material such as N,N-di-p-methoxybenzylcarbamoyloxymethyl or N-2,2,2-trichloroethyl carbamoyloxymethyl. An alternative method for obtaining the carbamoyloxymethyl group at the 3-position involves treating the 3-hydroxymethyl analog with trichloroacetylisocyanate or chlorosulfonylisocyanate, followed by hydrolysis.
Antibiotic compounds of Formula (I) that are of particular interest are those wherein X is --O--, --CH.sub.2 --, or NY wherein Y is hydrogen, methyl or formyl; and A is hydrogen, lower alkanyloxy, carbamoyloxy, pyridinium, 1-methyl tetrazolylthio, or 2-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazolylthio, R is of the formula: ##STR9## wherein R.sup.3 is phenyl, a 5- or 6-membered monocyclic heterocycle containing one or more oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atoms or ##STR10## and R.sup.2 is hydrogen, halo, amino, guanidino, phosphono, hydroxy, tetrazolyl, carboxyl, sulfo or sulfamino.
The carboxy group of the starting material is blocked or protected, preferably by the use of a group R.sup.1', which can be removed to obtain the free acid without disruption of the .beta.-lactam moiety. Protecting groups suitable for this purpose are well known in the art.
The group protecting the carboxyl group may be formed with an alcohol (aliphatic or araliphatic), phenol, silanol, stannanol or acid which may readily be split off at a later stage of the reaction.

The carboxyl groups may be regenerated from an ester by any of the usual methods; for example, acid- and base-catalysed hydrolysis (especially for silyl and stannyl esters) is generally applicable, as well as enzymically-catalysed hydrolyses; however, aqueous mixtures may be poor solvents for these compounds and they may case isomerizations, rearrangements, side-reactions, and general destruction, so that special methods may be desirable. Five suitable methods of deesterification are:
A- Reactions with Lewis acids: Suitable Lewis acids for reaction with the esters include trifluoroacetic acid, formic acid, hydrochloric acid in acetic acid, zinc bromide in benzene and aqueous solutions or suspensions of mercuric compounds. The reaction with the Lewis acid may be improved by addition of a nucleophile such as anisole.
B- Reduction: Suitable systems for effecting reduction are zinc/acetic acid, zinc/formic acid, zinc/lower alcohol, palladised-charcoal and hydrogen, electrolysis and sodium and liquid ammonia.
C- Attack by nucleophiles: Suitable nucleophiles are those containing a nucleophilic oxygen or sulphur atom for example alcohols, mercaptans and water.
D- Oxidative methods: For example, which involve the use of hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid.
E- Irradiation.
Of particular interest are the procedures involving cleavage of groups such as benzhydryl, tertiary butyl, p-bromophenacyl, p- methoxybenzyl and p-methoxyphenoxymethyl, and methoxymethyl with an acid such as trifluoroacetic acid and cleavage of the 2,2,2-trichloroethyl and phenacyl groups by reaction with zinc and acetic acid.
The process for preparing the 7-acylamido compounds (I, supra) comprises treating the 7-amino or 7-substituted imino compound (II, infra) with an acylating agent, for example, an acyl halide or acyl anhydride such as an aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic, araliphatic or heterocyclic aliphatic carboxylic acid halide or anhydride. Other acylating agents may also be employed, for example, a mixed acid anhydride with other carboxylic acids and particularly lower alkyl esters of carboxylic acids; also, carboxylic acids in the presence of a carbodiimide such as 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, an activated ester of a carboxylic acid such as the p-nitrophenyl ester or by enzymatic acylation.
When an imino compound is employed increased yields are obtained when the imino compound is first treated with a metal catalyst. The first step comprises dissolving the imino compound in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dimethylsulfoxide, dioxane, dimethylformamide, methanol, ethanol, methylene chloride or chloroform. A small amount of water is then added such that the solvent to water ratio is about 5-6:1. The metal catalyst is then added and the reaction mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 1-5 hours. The solvent may be removed or the acylating agent added directly to the reaction mixture. The catalyst is of the formula ML.sub.n where M is a metal such as palladium, platinum, nickel, ruthenium, rhodium, cobalt or iron; L is the ligand such as halo; carbonyl; cyclopentadienyl; phenylcyano and the like and n is an integer which is equal to the valence requirements. Palladium chloride (PdCl.sub.2) is the preferred catalyst.
The acylation reaction may be conducted at a temperature in the range of from about -20.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C. but is preferably conducted at a temperature in the range of from 0.degree. C. to 25.degree. C. Any solvent in which the reactants are soluble and substantially inert may be employed, for example, hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene and the like or tertiary amines, for example, trialkylamines and heterocyclic amines such as trimethylamine, pyridine and the like, also methylene chloride, chloroform, ethylacetate or diethylether may be employed. The reaction is conducted for a period of time of from about five minutes to a maximum of three hours, but in general, a reaction time of about 0.5 to about one hour is sufficient. The following equation illustrates this process employing the carboxylic acid halide; however, it is to be understood that by substituting the corresponding carboxylic acid anhydride or other functionally equivalent acylating agents similar products may be obtained. ##STR11## wherein R.sup.2, R.sup.3, B and X are as defined above; A.sup.1 is hydrogen, lower alkanoyloxy, heterocyclic thio, or carbamoyloxy, R.sup.1' is a blocking group or H; R.sup.4 is hydrogen, or both R.sup.4 groups taken together is benzylidene or substituted benzylidene, and Z is halo, for example, chloro, bromo and the like.
The 7.beta.-amino and 7.beta.-substituted imino compounds, (IIa and IIb, respectively, infra) are prepared by various processes depending upon the nature of the X group. When X is methylene, the following procedure depicted in Flow Sheet I is employed: ##STR12## wherein A.sup.1 and R.sup.1' are as defined above and R.sup.5 is lower alkyl of 1-5 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl and the like, or an aryl radical such as phenyl and the like.
In this process the starting material, an ester of .alpha.-aminophosphonoacetate (A) is reacted with a 4-methylene-5-substituted-(or unsubstituted)-valeraldehyde to produce the corresponding imine (B). The various phosphono esters of the starting material, A, can be utilized in this process, for example, the di-lower alkyl esters and di-aryl esters of the phosphonic acid group may be employed. This reaction is generally conducted at a temperature in the range of from about 0.degree.-100.degree. C. This reaction is conducted employing a solvent which will azeotrope the water formed during the reaction, with benzene being the preferred solvent. Alternatively, reaction is conducted in an inert solvent such as CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2, CHCl.sub.3, OH, Et.sub.2 O and in the presence of a water scavenger such as MgSO.sub.4, molecular series, etc. The intermediate compound (B) is then reacted with azidoacetyl chloride in the presence of an acid scavenger to afford the correspondingly substituted methyleneazetidinone (C). This reaction is preferably carried out at low temperatures, for example, at about 0.degree. C. and in the presence of a sufficient amount of base for example, a tertiary amine such as triethylamine to serve as an acid scavenger.
The methyleneazetidinone (C) is converted to the correspondingly substituted oxo-azetidinone (D) by treating with an oxidizing agent, for example, ozone and the like. This reaction is preferably run at low temperatures, for example, a temperature in the range of from -50.degree. to -80.degree. C. Any solvent which is inert or substantially inert to the reactants may be employed, such as ethylacetate, methanol, methylene chloride, chloroform and the like.
The oxo-azetidinone (D) is then cyclized to afford the azabicyclo (4, 2, 0)octene (E). This reaction is conducted employing a base such as an alkali metal hydride or alkali metal carbonate, for example, sodium hydride or potassium carbonate and the like. This reaction is generally run at a temperature in the range of from about 0.degree. C. to about 50.degree. C. Any solvent which is inert or substantially inert may be employed. Suitable solvents include dimethoxyethane, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide and the like.
The 7.beta.-azido compound (E) is then treated with hydrogen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst such as platinum oxide, palladium on carbon and the like, to obtain the correspondingly substituted 7.beta.-amino compound IIa.
Flow Sheet I' illustrates an alternative method of producing the oxo-azetidinone (D) of Flow Sheet I by utilizing a valeraldehyde which contains a 4-carbonyl precursor or 4-masked carbonyl group in place of the 4-methylene valeraldehyde of Flow Sheet I. The conditions of proceeding from A'.fwdarw. B'.fwdarw. C'.fwdarw. D (Flow Sheet I') are identical with those set forth in Flow Sheet I with respect to the reaction of A.fwdarw. B.fwdarw. C.fwdarw. D. ##STR13## wherein A.sup.1 and R.sup.1' are as defined above and R.sup.5 is lower alkyl of 1-5 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl and the like, or an aryl radical such as phenyl and the like, and X, Y represent a carbonyl precursor or masked carbonyl, representative members of which include the following:
I. Carbonyl precursors
X,Y=.dbd.CH.sub.2, .dbd.CHR, .dbd.CR.sub.2 (R=lower alkyl)
II. Masked carbonyls
Regeneration of the carbonyl to form the oxo-azetidinone (D) may be effected by treating the azetidinone (C') with an oxidizing agent such as ozone in the case of the carbonyl presursor and employing acid hydrolysis where X,Y is a masked carbonyl in accordance with technique well known to the art.
Another method for preparing the 7.beta.-amino compound (IIa, infra) and one limited to the preparation of those compounds wherein X is --O-- or --NY-- where Y is as defined above is shown in the following Flow Sheet, II.
In this process the starting material, an ester of .alpha.-aminophosphonoacetate (A) is reacted with a thionoformate ester to produce the corresponding thioformamido ester (J). The protecting group, R.sup.1', is as defined above and R.sup.5 is as defined above.
Examples of suitable starting materials that might be mentioned are trichloroethyl .alpha.-amino-diethylphosphonoacetate, trichloroethyl .alpha.-amino-diphenylphosphonoacetate, phenyl .alpha.-amino-dimethylphosphonoacetate, p-methoxybenzyl .alpha.-amino-diethylphosphononacetate, benzhydryl .alpha.-amino-diphenylphosphonoacetate, t-butyl, .alpha.-amino-dimethylphosphonoacetate, t-butyl .alpha.-amino-dipropylphosphonoacetate, methyl .alpha.-amino-diphenylphosphonoacetate, phenacyl or p-bromophenacyl .alpha.-amino-diethylphosphonoacetate, methoxymethyl .alpha.-amino-dimethylphosphonoacetate, p-methoxyphenoxymethyl .alpha.-amino-dimethylphosphonoacetate, p-nitrobenzyl .alpha.-amino-dimethylphosphonoacetate and benzyl .alpha.-amino-diethylphosphonoacetate.
The conversion of compound A to the corresponding thioformamido derivatives (J) is carried out by reacting the starting material with a lower alkyl (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) ester of thiono formic acid. Thus, the reaction is carried out by reaction with ethyl thionoformate at 0.degree. C. Generally, it is preferred to carry out the reaction in an inert solvent such as benzene, carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride or hexane. Alternatively, the reaction is carried out in the presence of liquid hydrogen sulfide at room temperature under autogenous pressure. After completion of the reaction, the solvent is evaporated to afford the product, J.
The next step comprises treating the thioformamido compound (J) with an alkylating agent such as methyliodide and the like in the presence of a base such as potassium carbonate, and the like. This step is conveniently conducted at room temperature in the presence of a suitable inert solvent such as acetone, dimethylformamide, and the like. The S-methyl substituted compound (K) obtained is then treated with azidoacetylchloride and an acid scavenger to afford the azido compound (L). This reaction is preferably conducted at low temperatures, for example, at about 0.degree. C. using a sufficient amount of a base such as a tertiary amine to serve as the acid scavenger and also catalyze the cyclo addition to afford compound (L).
The 4-methylthio compound (L) is converted to the correspondingly substituted 4-chloro compound (M) by either of two alternative processes. The first method comprises treating the 4-methylthio compound (L) with an oxidizing agent such as N-bromoacetamide and the like to afford the 4-methylsulfonyl compound (L.sub.1) which upon treatment with acetylchloride affords the desired 4-chloro compound (M).
A second method for preparing the 4-chloro compound comprises treating the 4-methylthio compound (L) with a chlorinating agent such as chlorine and the like, in a suitable inert solvent such as methylene chloride, chloroform, benzene, and the like, at a temperature in the range of from about 0.degree. to about 40.degree. C.
The next step of the process comprises treating the 4-chloro compound (M) with the appropriately substituted propanone or 1-amino (or 1--OH)-3-A'-substituted-2-propanone in the optional presence of a dehalogenating agent, for example, silver fluoroborate, silver oxide, silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, and the like. Suitable solvents for this reaction include methylene chloride, toluene, chloroform, and the like. If the propanone employed as the reactant is a liquid at room temperature then an excess may serve as the solvent. The reaction is conveniently conducted at room temperature.
The 4-propyloxy or propylamino compound (N) is then ring-closed by reaction with a base such as an alkali metal carbonate or an alkali metal hydride in a suitable inert solvent such as dimethoxyethane, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, acetone, and the like, at 0.degree.-50 .degree. to afford the desired dethiacephalosporanate (O, supra) which is a mixture of the 7.alpha. and .beta.-azido compound.
The mixture of the 7.alpha. and 7.beta.-azido-dethiacephalosporanate (O) is converted to its correspondingly substituted 7amino compound (IIa, supra) by treating the 7-azido compound (O) with hydrogen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst such as platinum oxide, palladium on charcoal, ruthenium, rhodium and the like.
The compounds, --IIa, described in Flow Sheet I, and the compounds, --IIa, as described in Flow Sheet II, since they result from a total synthesis procedure, are racemic mixtures of both d- and l-forms. The separation of the two optically active components can be conveniently done when the compound of Formula IIa is obtained. Alternatively, the compound of Formula II can be acylated to yield the d, 1-7.beta.`-acylamino compound of I and then separated using readily available processes. For example, resolution can be accomplished by reaction with an optically active base, separation of the resulting diastereomers and reconversion of the diasteromers to the free acid or a salt thereof.
The 7.beta.-amino-7.alpha.-methoxy compounds (IIc) are prepared by treating the 7-amino compound (IIa) with an aromatic aldehyde to form the corresponding imino compound (IIb or IV, infra).
The imino compound (IIb or IV) may be prepared as follows: (It may be noted that when X=O or NY IIa and IIb may be a mixture of 7.alpha. and 7.beta. isomers) ##STR21## wherein A.sup.1 and R.sup.1' are as defined above.
The 7-amino compound IIa is reacted with an aromatic aldehyde in which one of the 2, 4 or 6 positions may be substituted with a nitro, halo, cyano, carboxy or hydroxy. The other two positions can either be one of the above substituents or hydrogen. The preferred aromatic aldehydes are benzaldehyde and p-nitrobenzaldehyde. The starting material IIa and the aromatic aldehyde are mixed together in approximately equimolar amounts in an inert solvent, such as ethanol, dioxane, benzene, toluene, methylene chloride, chloroform and the like. The reaction is conducted at room temperature to the reflux temperature of the particular solvent employed. It may be noted that with respect to compound IIa; when X is O or NY a mixture or 7.alpha.- and 7.beta.-amino isomers may be present which yield a mixture of 7.alpha. and 7.beta. imino compounds (IIb). It will be appreciated that both 7.alpha. and 7.alpha. compound IIb may be used for introduction of substituents at C-7.
To increase the yields, the water formed during the reaction is removed by any of the known methods including azetropic distillation, molecular sieves, magnesium sulfate and the like.
The imino compound, IIb or IV, is then activated with a strong base preferably an inorganic base, for example, an alkali metal hydride such as sodium hydride and the like, or an organometallic compound such as phenyl lithium LiN(iPr).sub.2 KOtBu tert-butyl lithium and the like. The base is added to a solution of the imino compound (IV) at a temperature in the range of from about -100.degree. C. to about -60.degree. C. under an inert atmosphere (e.g. nitrogen). An inert solvent such as DMF, tetrahydrofuran or acetonitrile is employed.
The activated intermediate is not isolated but treated directly with a halogenating agent such as N-bromo-succinimide, N-bromoacetamide, bromine, tert-butyl hypochlorite, perchloromethyl hypochlorite and the like, to afford the 7-imino-7-halo compound (III, infra) which upon treatment with methanol in the presence of a base such as silver oxide, barium oxide, calcium oxide, cuprous oxide or triethylamine affords the 7.beta.-imino-7.alpha.-methoxy compound (IId) which can be acylated or can be treated with an amine in the presence of an acid catalyst as described above to afford the 7.beta.-amino-7.alpha.-methoxy compound (IIc, infra). ##STR22## wherein A.sup.1, R.sup.1' and X are as defined above and halo is bromo or chloro.
An alternative technique for the preparation of novel 7-substituted antibiotics wherein B=CH.sub.3, OCH.sub.3 or SR (where R is lower alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms or phenyl) is as follows: ##STR23##
The basic process can be summarized briefly as having three major steps: the first is the preparation of the imino derivative of the 7-amino compound. This imino derivative is then substituted with the chosen reactant supplying the B group desired. The specific reactant depends on the identity of the B group. The third step is then the regeneration of the amino group.
The reactant VII employed in the first of the reaction sequence is an aromatic aldehyde optionally having at least one o- or p-electronegative substituent. In other words, at least one of J, G, and K may be a substituent selected from the group consisting of nitro, methyl, halo, sulfonyl, carboxyl derivatives such as esters or amides, cyano, and the like. The other two of J, G, and K can either be one of the above electronegative substituents, or hydrogen. The preferred reactants are p-nitrobenzaldehyde, where J=nitro, and G and H=hydrogen, and benzaldehyde.
Other carbonyl containing compounds, e.g., aldehydes and ketones such as acetone, hexafluoroacetone or chloral which will form stable imino derivatives will also be operable in this invention. Also, polycyclic aromatic aldehydes can be used, i.e., having 2-3 fused ring nuclei such as 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde.
The 7-amino starting material VI and the aromatic aldehyde VII are mixed together in approximately equimolar amounts in an inert solvent. Suitable solvents are ethanol, dioxane, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, benzene, toluene, methylene chloride, chloroform, and the like. The reaction proceeds readily at temperatures ranging from ambient to reflux temperature of the solvent. Since this condensation is an equilibrium reaction and since water is one of the products of the reaction, water is removed from active participation in further reactions by any of a number of usual methods, including azeotropic distillation, molecular sieves, chemical entrapment using potassium carbonate, magnesium sulfate, etc., or borate esters. The particular method is dependent upon the exact parameters of the reaction. The reaction is terminated by evaporation of the solvent. The imino derivative VIII is then recovered and used in the next step.
The latter involves the substitution of the B group at the carbon atom adjacent to the imino nitrogen. This reaction takes place in the presence of an inert solvent, such as THf, DMF, DME, and in the additional presence of an activating agent which is an organic or inorganic base.
The activating agent can be any of a number of organic or inorganic bases. Tertiary (loweralkyl) amines are suitable, such as triethylamine, diisopropyl ethylamine; lower alkyl is used as having 1-4 carbon atoms and can be the same or different. Pyridine is also used. Lithium alkyls and lithium aryls, such as lithium alkyls having 1-4 carbon atoms, e.g., t-butyl lithium or phenyl lithium, could be used. Sodium hydride is also suitable LiN(iPr).sub.2 and KOtBu may be used.
The activating agent is added to the solution of compound VIII at a low temperature (-100.degree. to 0.degree. C. and preferably -100.degree. to -60.degree. C.) and under an inert atmosphere. The amount of activating agent employed is sufficient to produce a strong color change in the solution. The color is an indicator that the activated form of compound VIII is present.
The activated compound VIII is not isolated, but the next reagent is added directly to the reaction mixture.
The specific reagent which is employed in the reaction with the activated compound VIII to result in the substitution of the chosen B group obviously depends on the B group desired.
The following is of value in defining each reactant in terms of the final B group.
The chosen reagent is added in an amount approximately equivalent to the moles of the activated compound VIII. The reaction proceeds immediately, as evidenced by a color change. The reaction mixture is then permitted to warm up to temperatures ranging from between 0.degree. C. to ambient temperatures.
The terms used in Table I and elsewhere in the specification are defined as follows:
"Loweralkyl" refers to an alkyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms.
"Loweralkanoyl" and "loweralkoxy" refer to a carbon chain of 1-6 carbon atoms.
"Halide" and "halo" are used to mean chlorine, bromine, fluorine, and iodine. Different halogens can be employed in the same moiety if more than one is indicated.
"Peroxide" indicates a compound having a --0--0-- moiety.
"Disulfide" indicates a --S--S-- moiety in a compound.
"Loweralkanoyl peroxide" is used to mean a compound of the formula ##STR24## wherein R is loweralkyl having 1-6 carbon atoms.
Once novel compound IX has been prepared, the imino moiety is converted to the amino moiety of compound X.
The regeneration of X from IX takes place by the reaction of IX with an amine in the presence of an acid catalyst. The amine employed can be aniline, hydrazine, or hydrazine derivatives such as phenylhydrazine, 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine, and the like. The acid catalyst can be any commonly used strong organic or inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid or p-toluene sulfonic acid. One preferable combination utilizes aniline hydrochloride, which serves as both acid and amine. Another preferred combination is 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine and p-toluene sulfonic acid. The reaction conditions of the regeneration are chosen such that no undesired hydrolysis or ring damage occurs, and is preferably carried out in a lower alkanol medium (1-5 carbon atoms), such as methanol, ethanol, and the like, although other solvents including dimethoxyethane or dimethyl formamide may also be used. The temperature is that of the surroundings. The relative amounts of acid and amine employed depends on the specific aldehyde IV and amine used, since the regeneration involves an equilibrium. The choice of amounts of the reagents is within the skill of one in the art. Other systems that may be utilized include H.sub.2 O in methyl ether or DMF or HCl in H.sub.2)--methyl ether.
In carrying out the reactions described herein it is preferred to protect the 4-carboxy group and also other groups which may be in the nucleus such as other carboxy groups, amino groups or hydroxy groups. Maximum yields are obtained by employing these protected compounds. Examples of these protecting groups are trichloroethyl, tert-butyl, benzoylmethyl, p-methoxybenzyl, benzyl, benzhydryl, trityl, trimethylsilyl, methoxymethyl, tert-butyloxycarbonyl and the like. These ester groups may be removed by methods well known to those skilled in the art; for example, the benzhydryl or p-nitrobenzyl groups may be removed by hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon or by treatment with a strong organic or inorganic acid. The tert-butyl or methoxymethyl groups may also be removed by treatment with strong organic or inorganic acid. Examples of these acids are hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, boron trifluoride etherate, formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, nitrobenzoic acid and the like.
Amino protecting groups are well known in the art and are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,479,295 through 2,479,297, 2,562,407 through 2,562,411 and 2,623,876. Groups such as triphenylmethyl and trimethylsilyl may be employed. The groups set forth in the above indicated patents are incorporated herein by reference. In addition, protective groups formed by reagents such as 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, 1-fluoro-2-nitro-4-carbomethoxy-benzene, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, phenylisocyanate and methylchloroformate may be employed in the practice of the invention.
Typical of hydroxy protecting groups which may be utilized include tetrahydropyranyl ether, benzyl ether, p-nitrobenzyl ether or p-methoxybenzyl ether. These groups may be subsequently converted to the free hydroxy group by mild aqueous hydrolysis or by hydrogenation.
Preparation of 3-Methyl Analogs
The 3-acetoxy methyl group may be cleaved to form the 3-hydroxymethyl compound without subsequent lacetone formation by employing enzymatic means, for example, by employing acetylesterase. The use of an enzyme allows the hydrolysis of the acetoxy group without the danger of lactone formation. The resulting hydroxy group may be then reacted to form other substituents at the 3-position. For example, the 3-hydroxy group may be re-esterified with a lower alkanoic acid group or with an aryl group by employing acylating agents such as a lower alkyl or aryl carboxylic acid halide or anhydride, a substituted carbamoyl halide or a lower alkyl isocyanate.
The 3-acetoxy methyl group may also be converted to other analogs by replacing the acetoxy group of I, with nitrogen or sulfur nucleophiles. Many nitrogen and sulfur nucleophiles are well known in the cephalosporin art and the following examples are merely illustrative of the type of compound which may be employed; for example, a tertiary amine such as pyridine and the like, a 5-membered heterocyclic thiol such as 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazolyl-2-thiol, N-methyltetrazolylthiol and the like.
In accordance with the above, deblocking of the Y-carboxy group of 7-amino or 7-acyl cephalosporins prepared in accordance with the invention shall result in the preparation of the corresponding free acid as follows: ##STR25## wherein R is H or acyl; R.sup.1 is a protecting group; and B and A is as set forth previously.
The nomenclature used in this application is as follows: ##STR26## I is called 3-substituted methyl-7.beta.-acylamido-1-X-1-dethiacephalosporin.
In Formula I, the dotted lines connecting the two hydrogen atoms to the ring indicate that the hydrogen atoms are down (X) from the plane of the .beta.-lactam ring; the broad line connecting the nitrogen indicates that it is up (B) from the plane of the ring.
There is another possible steric configuration for dethiacephalosporin, which is: ##STR27## In this formula, the nitrogen and the hydrogen at position 6 is .alpha., or down from the ring; the hydrogen at position 7 is .beta., or up from the ring. This type of configuration is termed "epi" dethiacephalosporin.
It should be noted that it is unnecessary to specify the configuration of both substituents on the 7-carbon; if the nitrogen configuration is indicated, the other substituent, i.e., the hydrogen, is obviously the other configuration.

In addition, mixed salts and esters such as those obtained by treating the product (I) with one equivalent of sodium hydroxide and then with one equivalent of lactic acid are also within the scope of this invention.
The salts of this invention are pharmacologically acceptable nontoxic derivatives which can be used as the active ingredient in suitable unit-dosage pharmaceutical forms. Also, they may be combined with other drugs to provide compositions having a broad spectrum of activity. In addition, the instant salts and, also, the corresponding ester and amide derivatives, have utility as intermediates in preparing the carboxylic acid product illustrated by formula I, supra.

Methods for the preparation of the esters andd amide derivatives include the reaction of the carboxylic acid product (I) or corresponding acid halide with an alcohol or phenol, for example, methanol, ethanol, cyclohexanol, phenol, benzyl alcohol, dibenzhydrol and the like. The amide derivatives may be obtained by treating the corresponding acid halide with ammonia or with an appropriate alkylamine, dialkylamine, aralkylamine or heterocyclic amine. These and other conventional methods for the preparation of the esters and amides will be obvious to those skilled in the art.
it will be apparent from a further reading of this application that in many of the chameical reactions described, the cephalosporin is blocked at position 4 by a so-called "easily removable blocking group." Many of these groups are contained within the above definition of the chain --COXR.sup.1.
In this connection, it is noted that preferred "blocking groups" include the sub-generic groups defined above as aralkyl, haloalkyl, alkanoyloxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkenyl, substitiuted alkyl, or aralkoxyalkyl, and also including alkylsilyl, wherein alkyl has 1-10 carbon atoms.
More spectifically, preferred "blocking groups" including benzyl, phenacyl, methoxymethyl, trichloreothyl, trimethylsilyl, tributyltin, p-methoxybenzyl, benzhydryl. These blocking groups are preferred since they are generally recognized easily-removable blocking groups in cephalosporin and penicillin art. Although we describe procedures for the removal of these blocking groups, such processes are condisered within the skill of those in the art.
Thus the novel cephalosporins are valuable antimicrobial substances which are active against various gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens such as Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella schottmuelleri and Proteus vulgaris. Thus, the free acid and especially the salts thereof such as amine and metal salts, particularly the alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts, are useful bactericides and can be used for removing susceptible pathogens from dental and medical equipment, for separating microorganisms, and for therapeutic use in humans and animals. For this latter purpose pharmacologically acceptable salts with inorganic and organic bases such as those known in the art and used for the administration of penicillins and cephalosporins can be utilized. For example, salts such as alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts, and primary, secondary and tertiary amine salts can be used for this purpose. These salts can be combined with pharmaceutically acceptable liquid and solid vehicles to form suitable dosage unit forms such as pills, tablets, capsules suppositories, syrups elixirs and the like which can be prepared in accordance with procedures well known in this art.
The novel cephalosporins are valuable antibiotics active against various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and, accordingly, find utility in human and veterinary medicine. The compounds of this invention can therefore be used as antibacterial drugs for treating infections caused by gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria, for example against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhosa, Pseudomonas and Bacterium proteus. The antibacterial cephalosporins of the invention may further be utilized as additives to animal feeding stuffs, for preserving foodstuffs and as disinfectants. For example, they may be employed in aqueous compositions in concentrations ranging form 0.1 to 10 parts of antibiotic per million parts of solution in order to destroy and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria on medical and dental equipment and as bactericides in industrial applications, for example in waterbased paints and in the white water of paper mills to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
The products of this invention may be used alone or in combination as the active ingredient in any one of a variety of pharmaceutical preparations. These antibiotics and their corresponding salts may be employed in capsule form or as tablets, powders or liquid solutions or as suspensions or elixirs. They may be administered orally, intravenously or intramuscularly.
The compositions are preferably presented in a form suitable for absorption by the gastro-intestinal tract. Tablets and capsules for oral administration may be in unit dose presentation form, and may contain coventional excipients such as binding agents, for example, syrup, acacia, gelatin, sorbitol, tragacanth, or polyvinylpyrrolidone; fillers, for example, lactose, sugar, maizestarch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol or glycine; lubricants, for example, magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol, silica; disintegrants, for example, potato starch or acceptable wetting agents such as sodium lauryl sulphate. The tablets may be coated according to methods well known in the art. Oral liquid preparations may be in the form of aqueous or oily suspension, solution, emulsions, syrups, elixirs, etc. or may be presented as a dry product, for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicles before use. Such liquid preparations may contain conventional additives such as suspending agents, for example, sorbitol syrup, methyl cellulose, glucose/sugar syrup, gelatin, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, aluminum sterate gel or hydrogenated edible fats; emulsifying agents, for example lecithin, sorbitan monooleate or acacia; non-aqueous vehicles which may include edible oils, for example, almond oil, fractionated coconut oil, oily esters, propylene glycol, or ethyl alcohol; preservatives, for example methyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid. Suppositories will contain conventional suppository bases, e.g. cocoa butter or other glyceride.
Compositions for injection may be presented in unit dose form in ampules, or in multidose containers with an added preservative. The compositions may take such forms as suspensions, solutions, emulsions in oil or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilizing and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for reconstitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g. sterile, pyrogen-free water, before use.
The compositions may also be prepared in suitable forms for absorPtion through the mucous membranes of the nose and throat or bronchial tissues and may conveniently take the form of powder or liquid sprays or inhalants, lozenges, throat paints, etc. For medication of the eyes or ears, the preparations may be presented as individual capsules, in liquid or semi-solid from, or may be used as drops etc. Topical applications may be formulated in hydrophobic or hydrophilic bases as ointments, creams, lotions, paints, powders, etc.
Also, in addition to a carrier, the instant compositions may include other ingredients such as stabilizers, binders, antioxidants, preservatives, lubricators, suspending agents, viscosity agents or flavoring agents and the like. In addition, there may also be included in the composition other active ingredients to provide a broader spectrum of antibiotic activity.
For veterinary medicine the composition may, for example, be formulated as an intramammary prepartion in either long acting or quick-release bases.
The dosage to be administered depends to a large extent upon the condition of the subject being treated and the weight of the host, the route and frequency of administration, the parenteral route being preferred for generalized infections and the oral route for intestinal infections. In general, a daily oral dosage consists of from about 15 to about 600 mg. of active ingredient per kg. of body weight of the subject in one or more applications per day. A preferred daily dosage for adult humans lies in the range of from about 80 to 120 mg. of active ingredient per kg. of body weight. The preferred daily dosage for the compounds of the invention range from about 80 to 120 mg. of active ingredient per kg. of body weight.
The instant compositions may be ad;ministered in several unit dosage forms as, for example, in solid or liquid orally ingestible dosage form.
