Abstract of the disclosure A compound of the formula:

Description

~--`

1~64478 This invention relates to novel cephalosporin compounds having novel acyl groups at the 7-position and preparations thereof More particularly, this invention relates to 7-methoxycephalospori~ compounds which have the formula:

NH2 ~S ~ R2 O,CM3 N CH2CO~H j ~S~
N ~ ~3 (I) COOE

wherein ~2 stands for hydrogen or a halogen; ~3 stands for methyl, acetoxymethyl, carbamoyloxymethyl, an alkoxy-methyl, an alkylthiomethyl, 2-carboxy-1-ethenyl or a hetero-cyclic thiomethyl group, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and also relates to processes for producing the same.
Hereto~ore, studies on synthestic cephalosporin compounds have been directed to the conversion of 7-amino-cephalospora~ic acid to various acyl derivatives at the 7-position or to derivatives at the 3-acetoxy group in order to synthesize compounds having either a broad antibacterial spectrum or a specific antibacterial spectrum. However, these known cephalosporin derivatives are not yet satis-factory in antimicrobial activities against a wide variety of microorganisms. Hence, a compound has been sought after which has a broad antimicrobial spectrum and is effective even at a lower concentration After a research we discovered that 7-methoxycephalos-porin compounds of the above general formula (I) are not only highly active against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive -:, . , : .

and Gram-negative bacteria but also eminently active against antibiotic resistant strains and even those species of micro-organisms against which the conventional cephalosporin compounds are inactive. The invention is based on the above finding.
Referring, now, to the above formula (I), ~2 means hydrogen or a halogen such as chlorine and bromine, R3 stands for methyl, acetoxymethyl, carbamoyloxymethyl, an alkoxy-methyl such as methoxymethyl, an alkylthiomethyl such as methylthiomethyl, 2-carboxy-1-ethenyl, or a heterocyclic-thiomethyl group. ~he heterocyclic group contains not less than one nitrogen which may be in the oxide form or, in addition to nitrogen or nitrogens, such others as oxygen or/and sulfur. ~he nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group desirably has one to four hetero atoms in its heterocyclic ring and the ring may be 5 or 6 membered one As such heterocyclic group are exemplified pyridyl, N-oxido-pyridyl, pyrimidyl, pyridazinyl, ~-oxido-pyridazinyl, pyrazolyl, diazolyl, thiazolyl, 1,2,3-thiadiazolyl, 1,2,4-thiadiazolyl, 1,3,4-thiadiazolyl, 1,2,5-thiadiazolyl, 1,2,3-oxadiazolyl, 1,2,4-oxadiazolyl, 1,3,4-oxadiazolyl, 1,2,5-oxadiazolyl, 1,2,3-triazolyl, 1,2,4-triazolyl, lH-tetrazolyl, 2H-tetra-zolyl and so on. And these heterocyclic groups may have such common substituents as lower alkyl groups, e.g. methyl, ethyl, trifluoromethyl, propyl,isopropyl, butyl, and ., -~ isobutyl, lower alkoxy groups, e.g. methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy, and butoxy, halogens, e.g. chlorine, and bromine, and so on.

hydrofuran, eth~l acetate, dimethylformamide, dimethyl-acetamide or the like or a mixture of such solvents. While the addition of an acid acceptor is not essential, there are cases in which the reaction proceeds more smoothly in the presence of an acid acceptor, provided that the addition of the particular acceptor does not modify the cephalosporin ,, ~
nucleus. As the acceptor for this purpose, there may be mentioned inorganic and organic bases such as alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal hydrogen carbonates, triethylamine, pyridine, N,N-dimethylaniline and 50 on. ~he starting ' ~064478 compound (IV) is subaected to the reaction in the form of free acid, an alkali metal salt, e g. sodium or potassium salt, or an ester such as those mentioned hereinbefore in - connection with the 4-carboxyl group ~ormally the reaction proceeds adequately at room temperature, although it may be ;: conducted under heating or cooling as required The compounds (I) may be prepared by reacting a 7-methoxycephalosporin compound of the formula:

isothiazole, oxadiazole, thiadiazole, methylthiadiazole, pyridine-N-oxide, pyridazine-N-oxide, etc. fall within this category. Such a mercapto compound, though it may be used in its free form, is employed with advantage as an alkali metal salt, e.g sodium or potassium salt. This reaction is preferably conducted in a solvent. For this purpose, use is made, for example, of water, heavy water or an organic solvent which is easily miscible with water and does not react with the material compounds, e.g. dimethyl-formamide, dimethylacetamide, dioxane, acetone, alcohol, acetonitrile, dimethylsulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran or the like. ~he reaction temperature and time depend upon the ;
particular materials and solvent employed, among other factors but, generally,may be selected from the range of 0C
to 100C and the range of a few hours to several days, res-pectively. ~he reaction is preferably carried out in the ~i~ neighborhood of neutrality, i.e. at pH 2 to 8 and, for -.; . ~.
still better results, at pH 5 to 8. This reaction may at times be caused to proceed more smoothly by adding a quaternary ammonium salt having surface activity, e.g.
~rimethylbenzylammonium bromide, triethylbenzylammonium bromide, triethylbenzylammonium hydroxide or the like, to the reaction system. More satisfactory results may be achieved by conducting the reaction in an inert gaseous atmosphere, e.g. nitrogen gas, so as to prevent atmospheric oxidation of the mercapto compound.

Ifhe following description pertains, in the first place, to the process comprising reacting an ~-(2-halogeno-ethoxycarbonyl)thiourea with aff~-haloacetoacetic acid alkyl ester One of the reactants, an ~-(2-halogenoethoxy-carbonyl)thiourea, is prepared by reacting a chloroformic acid 2-halogenoethyl ester with thiocyanate and adding ~ ammonia to the resultant 2-halogenoethoxycarbonyl isothio-- cyanate. This compound is a novel compound which has never been described in the literature. The halogen, substituting the 2-position of the ethyl group of said chloroformic acid ethyl ester, may for example be chlorine, bromine or/and fluorine, and one to three such halogen atoms may be present as substituents. Thus, trichloro-, dibromo and other com-pounds are commonly employed. Thiocyanic acid, for the ~ purposes of this reaction, may be used in its free form, ."..
although normally it is more conveniently reacted as one of the salts of alkali metals, e,g~ sodium, potassium, etc., ,. .
the salts of heavy metals, e.g. copper, lead, etc., the ammonium salt and so on. This reaction proceeds smoothly in a solvent. The solvent to be normally employed is pre-ferably a nonprotonating solvent, such as, acetone, ~ethyl ethyl ketone, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, acetonitrile, ether, ~ benzene or toluene. Advantageously the reaction is conducted ,~ at a low temperature so as to avoid undesirable side reac-tions. Normally the reaction can be conducted smoothly , : ' ~'..' , -::

within the range of 5C to -20C.

The 2-halogenoethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate thus ,;, .
obtained is so reactive that it is normally not isolated but the reaction mixture as such is subjected to the next treatment, i.e. reaction with ammonia, to produce an ~-(2-halogenoethoxycarbonyl)thiourea. This ammonia-addition reaction may be carried out by introducing ammonia into the reaction mixture obtained in the aforementioned production stage for 2-halogenoethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate, but normally the metal halide or ammonium halide by-produced from a chloroformic acid 2-halogenoethyl ester and a thiocyanate salt is first separated by filtration and, then, ammonia is introduced into the filtrate. The ammonia may be added in gaseous state, or a solution of ammonia in a suitable :. .
solvent, e.g. methanol or ethanol, may be introduced. The reaction is preferably carried out at a low temperature, normally within the range of 5C to -10C
The reaction of an ~-haloacetoacetic acid compound with an N-(2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl)thiourea to produce a 2-(2'-trichloroethoxycarbonylamino)thiazol-4-ylacetic acid is normally conducted with advantage in a solvent and in the presence of a base. ~he solvent just mentioned may be any solvent that is able to dissolve the two starting materials and, at the same time, will not interfere with the contemplated reaction. Thus, use may be made of alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, etc.; ketones such as acetone, me~hYl ethyl ketone, etc.; ethers, such as ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, etc. and their mixtures, to name , '~

The heating temperature in the neighbor-hood of the boiling point of the solvent employed is normally advantageous, As to the mating starting material, i~e. an ~-haloacetoacetic acid alkyl ester, there may be employed methyl ~-chloroacetoacetate, ethyl ~-chloroacetoacetate, .~ ,~. .
methyl ~-bromoacetoacetate, ethyl ~rbromoacetoacetate and other ; ~ -halogenoacetoacetic acid alkyl esters.
