The substituted l,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydro-i8oindoles of the formula (III) are mainly new. They can be obtained, for example, by a Diels-Alder reaction of dienes of the formula (1) wherein R5 has the abovementioned meaning and R8 either is identical to R* or represents a functional group which can be converted into R*, with dienophiles of the formula (1) (2) 0 V. in which R9 denotes hydrogen or a protective group, such as trlmethylsilyl, benzyl, Ct-C^-alkylphenylmethyl, methoxy-benzyl or benzhydryl and R5' denotes hydrogen or methyl, and subsequent reduction of the carbonyl groups and if appropriate splitting off of the protective group.

Possible diluents for the Diels-Alder reaction are all the inert organic solvents. These include, preferably, ethers, such as diisopropyl ether, di-n-butyl ether, dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran and anisole, hydrocarbons, such as, for example, hexane, methylcyclohexane, toluene, xylene and mesitylene, and halogenated hydrocarbons, such as, for example, chloroform, 1,2-dichloro-ethane and chlorobenzene. However, the Diels-Alder reaction can also be carried out without a solvent.

The reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range. The reaction is in general carried out between about -20°C and +200°C, preferably between -20"C and +150"C. The Diels-Alder reaction is usually carried out under normal pressure. However, pressures up to 1.5 GPa can also be employed to accelerate the reaction.

The reduction of the carbonyl groups can be achieved with complex hydrides. Hydrides which can be employed are, for example, lithium aluminium hydride, lithium borohydride, lithium triethylborohydride, sodium bis-[2-methoxyeth-oxy]-aluminium hydride or sodium borohydride in the presence of Lewis acid catalysts, such as chlorotri-methylsilane, boron trifluoride etherate or aluminium aw- II 10 90* chloride.

Diluents which can be used are the solvents customary for such reductions. These include, preferably, ethers, such as, for example, diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or dimethoxyethane, and hydrocarbons, such as, for example, hexane, methylcyclohexane and toluene, or also mixtures thereof.

The reaction temperatures can be varied in the range between -40 and +180*C, preferably between 0* and 140*C. The reduction is in general carried out under normal pressure, but can also be carried out under reduced pressure or under increased pressure.

The use of pressures of between 100 and 1000 kPa is advisable in order to achieve higher reaction temperatures with low-boiling solvents.

The complex hydrides are employed at least in an amount corresponding to the stoichiometry of the reduction. However, an excess, preferably of between 30 and 300 %, is in general employed.

Any protective group present is split off by the generally known methods of protective group chemistry (compare, for example, T.W. Greene, "Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis", John Wiley & Sons, New York 1981).

The starting substances of the formulae (1) and (2) are known or can be prepared by generally known methods of organic chemistry [compare, for example, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 5179 (1978), J. Org. Chem. £2, 2164 (1978), DE 39 27 115, and J. Org. Chem. 4fi, 24 (1975)].

If, for example, l-(tert.-butyloxycarbonylamino)-l,3-butadiene and maleimide are used as starting materials and lithium aluminium hydride is used as the reducing agent, the course of the reaction can be represented by the following equation: hn-c-o-c(cho)-, 0 II 0 LiAlH, U>h — H o HN-C-0-C(CHo)T II 0 NHCH' In a particular embodiment of the preparation process, all the stages can be carried out without isolation of the intermediate products if a suitable solvent is used, such as, for example, tetrahydrofuran.

Examples which may be mentioned of compounds of the formula (III), which can be employed either as racemates or as enantiomerically or diastereomerically pure com-10 pounds, are: 4-amino-1,3,3a,4,7,7 a-hexahydroisoindole, 4-methylamino-1,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydroisoindole, -methyl-4-methylamino-1,3,3a,4,7,7 A-hexahydroisoindole, 6-methyl-4-methylamino-l,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydroisoindole, 15 7-methyl-4-methylamino-l, 3, 3a, 4,7, 7a-hexahydroisoindole, 7 a-methy 1-4 -methylamino-1,3,3a,4,7,7 a-hexahydroisoindole, 6,7-dimethyl-4-methylamino-1,3,3a,4,7,7 a-hexahydroisoindole, 7-ethyl-4-methylamino-1,3,3a,4,7,7 a-hexahydroisoindole, 7-isopropyl-4-methylamino-l,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydroiso-indole, 4-methylamino-7-cyclopropyl-l, 3, 3a, 4,7,7 a-hexahydroisoindole , 4-dimethylamino-l,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydroisoindole, 4-ethylamino-l,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydroisoindole, 4-[(2-hydroxyethyl)-amino]-l,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydroisoindole, 4-[N- ( 2-hydroxyethyl)-N-methy1-amino]-l,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydroisoindole, 4-aminomethyl-l,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydroisoindole, 4-methylaminomethyl-l, 3, 3a, 4,7, 7a-hexahydroisoindole, 4-hydroxy-1,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydroisoindole and 4-hydroxymethyl-l,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydroisoindole.

The reaction of (II) with (III)/ in which the compounds (III) can also be employed in the form of their salts, such as, for example, the hydrochlorides, is preferably carried out in a diluent, such as dimethyl sulphoxide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, hexamethyl-phosphoric triamide, sulpholane, acetonitrile, water, an alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol or iso-propanol, glycol monomethyl ether or pyridine. Mixtures of these diluents can also be used.

Acid-binding agents which can be used are all the customary inorganic and organic acid-binding agents. These include, preferably, the alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal carbonates, organic amines and amidines. Compounds which may be mentioned specifically as being particularly / ir suitable are: triethylamine, l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]-octane (DABCO), l,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) or excess amine (III).

The reaction temperatures can be varied within a substan-5 tial range. The reaction is in general carried out between about 20 and 200 °Cr preferably between 80 and 180"C.

The reaction can be carried out under normal pressure, but also under increased pressure. It is in general 10 carried out under pressures between about 1 and 100 bar, preferably between 1 and 10 bar.

In carrying out the process according to the invention, 1 to 15 mol, preferably 1 to 6 mol, of the compound (III) are employed per 1 mol of the compound (II).

Free amino groups can be protected by a suitable amino-protective group, for example by the tert .-butoxycarbonyl radical or as the azomethine group, during the reaction and can be liberated again by treatment with a suitable acid, such as hydrochloric acid or trifluoroacetic acid, 20 when the reaction has ended (see Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie (Methods of Organic Chemistry), Volume E4, page 144 (1983); and J.F.W. McOmie, Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry (1973), page 43).

To prepare the esters according to the invention, the 25 underlying carboxylic acid is preferably reacted in excess alcohol in the presence of strong acids, such as sulphuric acid, anhydrous hydrogen chloride, methane-sulphonic acid, p-toluenesulphonic acid or acid ion exchangers, at temperatures of about 20 to 200*C, preferably about 60 to 120*C. The water of reaction formed can also be removed by azeotropic distillation with chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, benzene or toluene.

Esters are also advantageously prepared by heating the underlying acid with dimethylformamide dialkyl acetate in a solvent, such as dimethylformamide.

The (5-methyl-2-oxo-l,3-dioxol-4-yl-methyl) esters used as prodrugs are obtained by reaction of an alkali metal salt of the underlying carboxylic acid, which can be protected .on the N atom, if appropriate, by a protective group, such as the tert.-butoxycarbonyl radical, with 4-bromomethyl- or 4-chloromethyl-5-methyl-l,3-dioxol-2-one in a solvent, such as dimethyl formamide, dimethyl-acetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulphoxide or tetramethylurea, at temperatures of about 0 to 100"C, preferably 0 to 50*C.

The acid addition salts of the compounds according to the invention are prepared in the customary manner, for example by dissolving the betaine in excess aqueous acid and precipitating the salt with a water-miscible organic solvent, such as methanol, ethanol, acetone or aceto-nitrile. It is also possible to heat equivalent amounts of betaine and acid in water or an alcohol, such as glycol monomethyl ether, and subsequently to evaporate the mixture to dryness or to filter off the precipitated salt with suction. Pharmaceutically usable salts are to be understood as, for example, the salts of hydrochloric 5 acid, sulphuric acid, acetic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, methane-sulphonic acid, 4-toluenesulphonic acid, galacturonic acid, gluconic acid, embonic acid, glutamic acid or aspartic acid.

The alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts of the carboxylic acids according to the invention are obtained, for example, by dissolving the betaine in less than the equivalent amount of alkali metal hydroxide solution or alkaline earth metal hydroxide solution, filtering off 15 the undissolved betaine and evaporating the filtrate to dryness. Pharmaceutically suitable salts are the sodium, potassium or calcium salts. The corresponding silver salts are obtained by reaction of an alkali metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt with a suitable silver salt, 20 such as silver nitrate.

These useful properties facilitate their use as chemo-therapeutic active compounds in medicine and also as substances for the preservation of inorganic and organic materials, in particular of organic materials of all types, for example polymers, lubricants, colours, fibres, leather, paper and wood, and of foodstuffs and water.

The compounds according to the invention are active against a very broad spectrum of microorganisms. Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and bacteria-like organisms can be controlled with their aid, and the diseases caused by these pathogens can also be prevented, alleviated and/or cured.

The compounds according to the invention are distinguished by an intensified action against dormant and resistant germs. In the case of dormant bacteria, that is to say bacteria which show no detectable growth, the compounds have an action at concentrations far below those of previously known substances. This relates not only to the amount to be employed but also to the speed of the destruction. It has been possible to observe such results on Gram-positive and -negative bacteria, in particular in Staphylococcus aureus, Fseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coll.

The compounds according to the invention also exhibit surprising increases in action against bacteria which are classified as less sensitive to comparable substances, in particular resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis.

The compounds according to the invention are particularly active against bacteria and bacteria-like microorganisms. They are therefore particularly suitable in human and veterinary medicine for the prophylaxis and chemotherapy of local and systemic infections caused by these pathogens.

The compounds are furthermore suitable for combating protozoonoses and helminthoses.

The compounds according to the invention can be used in various pharmaceutical formulations. Preferred pharmaceutical formulations which may be mentioned are tablets, coated tablets, capsules, pills, granules, suppositories, solutions, 8U8pensions and emulsions, pastes, ointments, gels, creams, lotions, powders and sprays.

The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) were determined by Beries dilution methods on Iso-Sensitest agar (Oxoid). A series of agar plates each containing active compound concentrations decreasing by twofold dilution each time were prepared for each test subBtance. The agar plates were inoculated with a Multipoint inoculator (Denley) . Overnight cultures of the pathogens, which were first diluted bo that each inoculum spot contained about 10* colony-forming particles, were uBed for the inoculation.
