CEPHALOSPORIN ANALOGS AND METHODS
FOR PRODUCTION TffEREOF

Background of the Invention -The present invention relates to novel cephalo-sporin analogs and more specifically to new carbacephem compounds which differ from the cephalosporins by having a carbon atom instead of a sulphur atom in the dihydrothiazine ring. In the Journal of the American Chemical Society, 96, 7584 (1974) and J. Med. Chem., 20, 551 (1977) certain carba-cephems with substituted methyl groups at the C-3 position such as (+)-l-carbacephalotin represented by the formula:

O

N ~ ~2 H ~ N ~ Ac COO~

are disclosed as having antibacterial activity. In addition some compounds which are encompassed in the definition of the present carbacephem compounds hereinafter described are named
2~ as starting materials in U.S. Patent No. 4,123,~23 issued Octo~er 31, 1378. There is, however, no physical ~ata re-garding these compounds given in this patent. Neverthe-113~i138 less as microorganism populations develop immunity toexisting antibiotics new antibacterial compounds are in demand. To this end, novel carbacephems with a hydrogen atom at the C-3 position have been synthesized which are useful as intermediates in the preparation of unexpect-edly high antibacterial compounds, and such compounds as well as methods for synthesis thereof are disclosed in German Offenlegungsschrift Nos. 2911786 and 2911787/1979.
It has now been found that novel carbacephems with a halogen atom at the C-3 position may be synthe-sized which are also useful as intermediates in the preparation of unexpectedly high antibacterial compounds.
Summary of the Invention In accordance with the present invention, novel carbacephem compounds, i.e. cephalosporin analogs, are synthesized. The numbering system shown in the following formula is used hereinafter.
Broadly, the present invention relates to cephalosporin analogs xepresented by the formula ~ ~:

As the protecting groups for the "protected amino group" in X or Xl, a phthaloyl group, t-butyloxy-carbonyl group, 2,2,2-trichloroethyloxycarbonyl group, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyloxycarbonyl group, benzyloxycarbonyl group, p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl group, p-methoxybenzyl-oxycarbonyl group, phenylacetyl group, phenoxyacetyl group, benzylidene group, salicylidene group and the like may be used.
Chlorine, bromine and iodine atoms are suita-ble as the halogen atom.
The "protected carboxyl group" in R is repre-sented by -COOR wherein R is a protecting group of a carboxyl group used usually in the synthesis of peni-cîllins and cephalosporins.

113~138 Reaction Process II

1 ~ _ Rl- Y0~ al 1~

This reaction is the elimination of Rl-Y-OH
and is carried out usually in a solvent. The reaction temperature is 0 to 200C. As solvents preferably used, inert solvents such as aliphatic hydrocarbon (hexane, heptane, etc.), halogenated hydrocarbon (chloroform, methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, etc.), aromatic hydrocarbon (benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.), ether (diethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dimethoxyethane, etc.), ester (ethyl acetate, etc.), amide (dimethyl-formamide, dimethylacetamide, etc.), sulfoxide (dimethyl-sulfoxide, etc.) and so on may be used.
In case of the sul~oxide (Y=S), the reaction proceeds with heating. Reaction temperature is prefera-bly 50 to 200C. In case of elimination of a phenyl-sulfinyl group, most preferable results are obtained by heating with reflux temperature.
In case of the selenoxide (Y=Se), the reaction proceeds at a lower temperature compared with the case of the sulfoxide, and is preferably 0 to 30C.

Reaction Process III
X~, ~ Xl~, I halogenation O ~ I ~ _ Rl > ~ ~ R ~Ha This reaction is an introduction of a halogen atom in ~-carbon of the sulfinyl or seleninyl group.
For example, for ~-chlorination of the sulfoxide, the reaction is carried out using a halogenating agent such 1il3~38 as tosyl chloride, nitrosyl chloride, dichloroiodophenyl, t-butyl hypochlorite, sulfuryl chloride, most preferably sulfuryl chloride, if necessary in the presence of a base such as pyridine, or the like.
The reaction is carried out at -78 to 20C, preferably under cooling conditions in an inert solvent, without water. The reaction time is usually within 30 minutes. As an example of a preferred embodiment, the reaction proceeds very mildly and rapidly by using sulfuryl chloride as a halogenating agent and a halogen-ated hydrocarbon such as dichloromethane as a solvent to obtain the desired compound in good yield.
Addition of calcium oxide to the reaction system for catching hydrogen chloride formed according to the progress of the reaction sometimes results in good effect. When an excess amount of sulfuryl chloride is used, dichloro compounds sometimes are formed as by-products. The reaction of alkylphenyl sulfoxide or dialkyl sulfoxide with sulfuryl chloride has been reported ~.C. Tin et. al. Tetrahedron-letter, 4643 (1970 ~ but there has been no report on such reaction applied to a ~-lactam compound.

This reaction is the addition reaction of thiol or selenol represented by Rl-Y-H. The reaction is usually carried out at -50 to 100C in a solvent, and if necessary in the presence of a base.
As the base, organic bases such as piperidine, diethylamine, triethylamine, etc., metal hydride such as sodium hydride, potassium hydride, etc., alkyllithium such as n-butyllithium, etc., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc. may be used.

More preferable results are obtained with the use of a weak base than with the use of a strong base. For example, better results are obtained with the use of piperidine when thiophenol is used as Rl-Y-H.

For this reaction a solvent such as acetone, water, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, ethanol, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide and acetic acid may be used alone or in combination. As the acid, hydrochloric acid and acetic acid are suitable. The reaction is carried out at a temperature of 0 to 100C, preferably 0 to 40C for 1 to 10 hours. The amount of zinc used for the reaction is usually 1 to 10 molar equivalents. 2 This method is preferably employed when R is 2,2,2-trichloroethyl and so on.
