Description
:~ ~t~S~
The present invention relates to new heterocyclic compounds containing a C-acetyl group, which are pharma-ceutically active as well as valuable in-termediates of -the thienamycin synthesis. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of these new heterocyclic compounds.
More particularly, the compo~mds with which the invention is concerned have the general formula:
o H3C-ll (Cz)2 ¦ (I) ~ N~
wherein:
R is a protecting ~roup suitable for a temporary protection of amines and amides or an aryl group, and Z is an alkyl group.
In the definition of R, the protecting group suitable for a temporary protection of amines and amides is preferably an optionally substituted benzyl group, and the aryl group is preferably a phenyl group which may also be optionally substituted~
In the definition of Z, the term "alkyl" is used to refer to a straight or branched chained alkyl group, preferably having 1 to 4 carbon atome, and is more preferably a methyl or ethyl group.
The compounds of the formula (I), in which R is aryl, preferably an optionally substituted phenyl, are pharmacrutically active and, more particularly, possess antihypoxic properties.
~' '7 The compounds of the formula (I), in which R
represents a protecting group are valuable intermediates of a new synthesis route for the preparati.on of thiena-mycin. The use o~ the intermediates of the formula(I) enables one to obtain thienamycin more conveni.ently and with a higher yield than with the intermediates of the hitherto known thienamycin syntheses. The most preferred representatives of the compounds of the formula (I) are those in which R is methoxybenzyl group.
Thienamycin is a well known antibiotic with a wide spectrum of activity, which has first been prepared microbiologically (US Patent No. 3,950,357) and then synthe-tically ~Published German Patent Application DOS No. 2,751,597).
The present invention thus prQvides a new synthesis route by which the azetidinone skeleton and the ~-hydroxyethyl side chain ~or another side chain, which can be easily converted into ~-hydroxyethyl) can be formed simultaneously.
It has been found that by acylating a dialkyl (substituted amino)-malonate of the general formula:
R - NH - CH(COOZ)2 (II) wherein R and Z are as defined hereinabove, with diketene and subjecting the acylated product to cyclization, the corresponding ~-acetyl-(~-substituted)-azetidinone deri-vatibes of the general formula (I) are directly obtained, which can easily be converted into the desired (~-hydro-xyethyl)-azetidinone derivatives.
The preparation of thienamycin starting with the compounds of the formula (I) is illustrated as follows:

In the first reaction step (a), a dialkyl (substi-tuted amino)-malonate of the formula (II) is acylated with diketene. If a compound of the formule (I) suitable for the preparation of thienamycin is to be prepared, then use is made of 21 starting compound oE the fonnula (II) in which R represents a protecting group suitable for a -tem-porary protection o amino and amido yroups, preferably benzyl or substituted benzyl, more preferably 4-methoxy-,
3,4-dimethoxy- or 2,4-dimethoxy-benzyl. The most preferred starting compound of the formula (II) is diethyl (2,4-dime-thoxyben~yl-amino)-malonate. The preparation of this new compound is described hereinafter in Example 1. The compound of the formula (I) in which R is benzyl is known in the art [P.J.Li: J.Oxg. Chem. 40(23) 3414 (1975)] .

tected. If a compound in which R is 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl is prepared, the tautomeric form corresponding to the for-mula (IIIb) was also detected in the reaction mixture, in an amount less than 5%. ~11 the compounds of the general formulae (IIIa) and (IIIb) are new and thus constitute a further aspect of the present invention.
In the second reaction step (b), the compounds of the formula (IIIa) and optionally of the formula (IIIb) are con~erted into the desired compoundsof the general formula (I).
