In addition to the above-mentioned groups, the ester groups which are easily eliminated of A" or R.sub.d can be the ester formed with butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, acetoxymethyl, propionyloxymethyl, butyryloxymethyl, valeryloxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, 2-acetoxyethyl, 2-propionyloxyethyl or 2-butyryloxyethyl or 2-iodoethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, vinyl, allyl, ethynyl, propynyl, benzyl, 4-methoxybenzyl, 4-nitrobenzyl, phenethyl, trityl, diphenylmethyl and 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl. Phenyl, 4-chloro phenyl, tolyl and tert-butylphenyl can also be mentioned with diphenylmethyl being preferred for A" and R.sub.d.
The protective group of the amino represented by R.sub.a may be alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as preferably, tert-butyl or tert-amyl. R.sub.a can also be acyl, aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic or carbamoyl. The lower alkanoyl such as formyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, isobutyryl, valeryl, isovaleryl, oxalyl, succinyl, and pivaloyl can be mentioned.
R.sub.a may also be lower alkoxy or cycloalkoxycarbonyl such as methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, propoxycarbonyl, 1-cyclopropylethoxycarbonyl, isopropyloxycarbonyl, butyloxycarbonyl, tert-butyloxycarbonyl, pentyloxycarbonyl, hexyloxycarbonyl, or one of the following groups: benzoyl, toluolyl, naphthoyl, phthaloyl, methyl, phenylacetyl, phenylpropionyl or an aralkoxycarbonyl such as benzyloxycarbonyl.
The acyls can be substituted for example by chlorines bromine, iodine or fluorine such as chloroacetyl, dichloroacetyl, trichloroacetyl, bromoacetyl or trifluoroacetyl.

R.sub.8 may also be haloalkyl such as trichloroethyl or chlorobenzoyl, para-nitrobenzoyl, para-tert-butylbenzoyl, phenoxyacetyl, caprylyl, n-decanoyl, acryloxy or trichloroethoxycarbonyl. R.sub.a may also be methylcarbamoyl, phenylcarbamoyl, naphthylcarbamoyl as well as the corresponding thiocarbamoyls. Trityl is preferred. The above list is not limitative and it is obvious that other amine protective groups known particularly in the chemistry of the peptides, can also be used.

Alkoxymethyl can also be mentioned such as methoxyethoxymethyl.
OR'.sub.b and OR'.sub.c can also form with the phenyl to which they are attached: ##STR18##
The methoxyethoxymethyl group is preferred for R'.sub.b and R'.sub.c.
In a preferred embodiment of the process, a functional derivative of the product of formula II is reacted which may be for example a halide, a symmetrical or mixed anhydride, amide, azide or an activated ester. An example of a mixed anhydride is that formed with isobutyl chloroformate and that formed with pivaloyl chloride and the carboxylic-sulfonic mixed anhydrides formed for example with p-toluene sulfonyl chloride.
An example of the activated ester is the ester formed with 2,4-dinitrophenol and that formed with hydroxybenzothiazole. An example of the halide is chloride or the bromide.
The anhydride can be formed in situ by the action of N,N-disubstituted carbodiimide, for example N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, diisopropylcarbodiimide or ethyldimethylamino propyl carbodiimide. The acylation reaction is carried out preferably in an organic solvent such as methylene chloride but other solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, chloroform, acetone, water or dimethylformamide can be used.
When an acid halide is used and generally when a molecule of hydrohalic acid is released during the reaction, the reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates and bicarbonates of sodium or potassium, sodium acetate, triethylamine, pyridine, morpholine or N-methylmorphotine. The reaction temperature is generally less than or equal to ambient temperature.
The product of formula II can also be directly reacted with a product of formula III in the presence of a carbodiimide such as diisopropylcarbodiimide. An example of such a preparation is given further on in the experimental part.
The reagent to introduct R.sub.1 is either one of the above-indicated which are then presented, after introduction, in the form of a quaternary ammonium, or a reagent of formula Het--SH in which Het has the definition indicated above. The addition of these reagents to the product of formula IV is carried out under the following conditions:
When Y is chlorine, a substitution of the chlorine by iodine can be carried out in situ or separately, in the presence of sodium iodide and then the desired reagent is added. An example of such a reaction is described hereafter in the experimental part. The desired reagent can also be reacted on the product of formula IV when Y is chlorine in the presence of silver tetrafluoroborate.
When Y is hydroxy, the product is also converted into a product in which Y is iodine for example by the action of tetrabutyl ammonium iodide in the presence of 2,6-lutidine and methylsulfonic anhydride.
One of the reagents indicated above can also be reacted with a product of formula IV in which the hydroxy has been converted into a reactive group for example using a sulfonic anhydride such as methylsulfonic, p-toluene sulfonic or preferably trifluoromethane sulfonic anhydride.
The action of the products of Het-SH is carried out under similar conditions to those indicated above. In particular, the products of formula IV in which Y is hydroxy can be converted into a reactive derivative using a sulfonic acid derivative such as trifluoromethane sulfonic acid anhydride. The operation is preferably carried out in the presence of a base such as 2,6-lutidine, 2,4,6-collidine, tetramethylguanidine, diazabicyclononene or diazabicyclo undecene in the presence of alkylizing agent for example trifluromethylsulfonic anhydride.
The action of the products of formula II on the products of formula VI is carried out under the same conditions as for the action of the products of formula II with the products of formula III.
The isomerism of the products of formula V can be different from that of the products of formula IV used at the start. In the case where the Z isomer is isolated, this isomer can be converted into an E isomer by known methods, notably by the action of iodine.
Depending on the values of R.sub.a, R'.sub.b, R'.sub.c, R.sub.d and A", the products of formula V can or cannot be a product of formula I. The products of formula V constitute the products of formula I when R.sub.a is hydrogen, when R'.sub.b and R'.sub.c are not a protective group of the hydroxyl which it is desired to eliminate, that is to say when R'.sub.b and/or R'.sub.c are acyl and when R.sub.d and A" are not, among the easily cleavable ester groups, one of those which it is desired to eliminate.
In the other cases, the purpose of the action on the product of formula V of one or more hydrolysis or hydrogenolysis agents or of thiourea is to eliminate the R.sub.a when the latter is a protective of the amino to eliminate R'.sub.b and R.sub.c when the latter is protective group of hydroxyl and/or to eliminate R.sub.d and A" when the latter are among the easily cleavable ester groups, one of those which it is desired to eliminate.
However, it is of course possible to eliminate R.sub.a, R'.sub.b and R'.sub.c without affecting the R.sub.d and A" substituents when these have to be preserved. This is the case when A" is an ester group which it is desired to preserve such as propionyloxymethyl.
The nature of the reagents to use in such a case is well known to a man skilled in the art. Examples of such reactions are given further on in the experimental part. A description of the different elimination methods of the different protective groups will be found for example in French Patent Application No. 2,499,995.
Among the preferred protective groups are trityl for R.sub.a, methoxyethoxymethyl for R'.sub.b and R'.sub.c and diphenylmethyl for R.sub.d and A". Trifluoroacetic acid is preferably used without a solvent or in a solvent such as anisole or a mixture of solvents such as anisole/methylene chloride. In that case, a salt is obtained with trifluoroacetic acid and the free base can then be returned to by the action of a base such as triethylamine carbonate. The salification of the products can be carried out according to the usual methods. The salification can be obtained by the action on a product in acid form or on a solvate, for example, ethanolic solvate or a hydrate of this acid, of a mineral base such as sodium or potassium hydroxide, sodium or potassium carbonate or bicarbonate. The salts of mineral acids such as trisodium phosphate can also be used, as well as salts of organic acids.
Examples of organic acid salts are sodium salts of saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, aliphatic carboxylic acids of 1 to 18 and preferably 2 to 10 carbon atoms. The aliphatic chains of these acids can be interrupted by one or more heteroatoms such as oxygen or sulfur or substituted by aryl such as phenyl, thienyl, furyl, by at least one hydroxyl or halogen such as fluorine, chlorine or bromine, preferably chlorine, by carboxylic or lower alkoxycarbonyl, preferably methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, or propyloxycarbonyl or by aryloxy, preferably phenoxy.
Furthermore, sufficiently soluble aromatic acids can be used as organic acids, for example benzoic acids substituted preferably by lower alkyl. Examples of such organic acids are formic acid, acetic acid, acrylic acid, butyric acid, adipic acid, isobutyric acid, n-caproic acid, isocaproic acid, chloropropionic acid, crotonic acid, phenylacetic acid, 2-thienylacetic acid, 3-thienylacetic acid, 4-ethylphenylacetic acid, glutaric acid, the monoethyl ester of adipic acid, hexanoic acid, heptanoic acid, decanoic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid, 3-hydroxy propionic acid, 3-methoxy propionic acid, 3-methylthio butyric acid, 4-chloro butyric acid, 4-phenylbutyric acid, 3-phenoxy butyric acid, 4-ethyl benzoic acid, 1-propyl benzoic acid. However, sodium acetate, sodium 2-ethyl hexanoate or sodium diethyl acetate are preferably used as sodium salts.
The salification can also be obtained by the action of an organic base such as triethylamine, diethylamine, trimethylamine, propylamine, N,N-dimethyl ethanolamine, tris (hydroxymethyl) amino methane, methylamine, ethanolamine, pyridine, picoline, dicyclohexyl amine, morpholine and benzylamine or by the action of arginine, lysine, procaine, histidine or N-methyl glucamine. This salification is carried out preferably in a solvent or a mixture of solvents such as water, ethyl ether, methanol, ethanol or acetone.
The salts are obtained in amorphous or crystallized form according to the reaction conditions used. The crystallized salts are prepared preferably by reacting the free acids with one of the aliphatic carboxylic acid salts mentioned above, preferably, with sodium acetate. The salification of the products by mineral or organic acids is carried out under the usual conditions.
The optional esterification of the products is carried out under standard conditions and is generally carried out by reacting the acid of formula I or a functional derivative with a derivative of the formula
in which Z is hydroxyl or halogen such as chlorine, bromine, iodine and Re is the ester group to be introduced, a non-exhaustive list of which group is set out above. In some cases, it is advantageous to carry out an esterification on a product whose amine and/or reaction groups present on the oxyimino are blocked before removing the protective group of the amine and of the reaction group present on the oxyimino.
The products of formula I contain several asymmetrical carbons. In the cephem nucleus, which contains two asymmetrical carbons, the two carbons are preferably in S configuration. Furthermore, the group present on the oxyimino function also contains an asymmetrical carbon: ##STR19## which can be in R or S form or in the form of an R,S mixture. The separation of the two diastereoisomers can be carried out by means known to one skilled in the art, for example by chromatography. This separation can be carried out either on the products of formula I or on the products of formula II.
The novel antibacterial compositions of the invention are comprised of an antibacterially effective amount of at least one compound of formula I and their non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts and an inert pharmaceutical carrier. The compositions may be in the form of tablets, dragees, capsules, granules, suppositories, ointments, creams, gels and injectable solutions or suspensions.
Examples of suitable excipients or inert pharmaceutical carriers are talc, gum arabic, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, cocoa butter, aqueous or non-aqueous vehicles, fatty substances of animal or vegetable origin, paraffin derivatives, glycols, various wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agents and preservatives.
The compositions have a very good antibiotic activity on gram (+) bacteria such as staphylococci, streptococci and particularly on penicillin-resistant staphylococci. Their effectiveness on gram (-) bacteria, notably on coliform bacteria, klebsiella, salmonella, proteus and pseudomonas, is particularly remarkable.
These properties make the compositions useful in the treatment of germ-sensitive illnesses and particularly in that of staphylococcia, such as staphylococcial septicemias, malignant staphylococcia of the face or skin, pyodermatitis, septic or suppurating sores, anthrax, phlegmon, erysipelas, primary or post-influenzal acute staphylococci, broncho-pneumonia, pulmonary suppurations. The composition can also be used as medicaments in the treatment of colibacilloses and associated infections, proteus infections, klebsiella and salmonella and other illnesses caused by gram (-) bacteria.
The novel method of the invention for combatting bacterial infections in warm-blooded animals, including humans, comprises administering to warm-blooded animals an antibacterially effective amount of at least one compound of formula I and their non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts. The compounds may be administered rectally, orally, parenterally or topically to the skin or mucous. The usual daily dose is 3.33 to 53.3 mg/kg depending on the condition treated, the compound used and the method of administration.
The novel intermediates of the invention are the compounds of formulae IV and V wherein R.sub.a is an amino protective group.
The compounds of formula II are known and are described in European patent applications No. 0,238,061 and No, 0,266,060. The compounds of formulae III and VI are described in European patent applications No. 153,229, No. 214,029 and No. 282,365.
