Description

B~3 Thiazole Derivatives This invention relates to novel aminothiazoleacetic acid derivatives which are useful as synthetic intermediates for ~-lactam antibiotics, a prccess for preparing the same, and a use thereof.
As synthetic intermediates useful for the production of ~-lactam antibiotics having high antimicrobial activities, such as penicillins, cephalosporins, etc., there are known
2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(carboxyalkyloxyimino)-acetic acid derivatives. For example, some of them have been used as the 7-side chain groups of ceftazidime, etc.
which are known as the so-called third generation anti-biotics, while other have been considered to be promising side chain moieties of azetidinones which are candidates of the fourth generation antibiotics. It is therefore expected thàt such and other 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(carboxyalkyloxyimino)-acetic acid derivatives will be utilized more often than they are today.
So far, many different processes have been proposed for the production of such 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2Q 2-(carboxyalkyloxyimino)-acetic acid d~rivatives, and among these known processes, the commercially advantageous processes may be classified into the following two major categories. One of the categories includes the method starting with an acetoacetic acid alkyl ester, which comprises oximating the ester with an alkali nitrite to an oxyiminoacetic~acid ester, etherlfying the oxime and, then, `

halogenating, and finally cyclizing the halogenation product with thiourea. The other category includes the method starting with 4-chloroacetoacetyl chloride, which comprises reacting the chloride with ethanol, butanol or the like to give a 4-chloroacetoacetic acid ester, oximat-ing the ester with an alkali nitrite, cyclizing the oxime with thiourea to give a 2-(2-amino~hiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-hydroxyiminoacetic acid ester, and finally etherifying the ester.
The 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(carboxyalkyloxy-imino)-acetic acid derivatives thus obtained are utilized, each in the form of acid halide, acid anhydride or active amide, as acylating agents in the synthesis of ~-lactam antibiotics. In this acylation reaction, it is necessary to use a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(carboxyalkyloxy-imino)-acetic acid derivative whose amino group has been protected so as to prevent occurrence of side reactions, with the result that in the synthetic processes heretofore used, 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(carboxyalkyloxyimino)-acetic acid derivatives whose amino groups have beenprotected are mainly synthesized. Moreover, because the carboxy group in the carboxyalkyloxyimino moiety and the carboxy group in the acetic acid moiety of such 2-~2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(carboxyalkyloxyimino)-acetic acid derivatives are more or less alike in chemical property, the carboxy group in the carboxyalkyloxyimino moiety must be protected to prevent side reactions before the derivatives are converted to reactive derivatives such as acid halides, acid anhydrides, active amides, etc.
As protective groups for the carboxy group in the carboxv-alkyloxyimino moiety, those groups which can be eliminated by catalytic reduction, such as p-nitrobenzyl, have been commonly employed but these groups are commercially disadvantageous in that it is difficult to remove them following the acylation reaction mentioned above. There has also been employed a tert-butyl group which is thought to be removable by acid hydrolysis but in the aforementioned second method for producing 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)~(Z)-2-(carboxyalkyloxyimino)-acetic acid derivatives wherein the earboxy group in the acetic acid moiety has been mostly esterified by an alkyl group, the tert-butyl group is also eliminated during the de-esterification reaction prior to said conversion to reactive derivatives. Thus, there has not been established an industrially profitable method for producing an 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl) (Z)-2-(earboxyalkyloxyimino)-aeetic aeid derivative whose amino group and carboxy group in the acetic acid moiety have not been protected but whose earboxy group in the earboxy-alkyloxyimino moiety only has been proteeted.
The present inventors found that in utilizing an 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-~Z)-2-(earboxyalkyloxyimino)-aeetie aeid derivative as an aeylating agent for the synthetie produetion of ~-laetam antibioties, the steps of proteeting the amino group prior to the aeylation reaetion to prevent side reaetions and removing the protective group for the amino group after the acylation reaction can be omitted if the 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(earboxyalkyloxyimino)_ aeetie aeid derivative is used in the form of an aetive thioester, and eonducted a study to develop a eommereially advantageous proeess ior produeing an 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(earboxyalkyloxyimino)-aeetie aeid derivative of whieh the amino group and the earboxy group in the aeetie aeid moiety are unproteeted and the earboxy group in the earboxyalkyloxyimino moiety is proteeted. It was, found, surprisingly, that among the various eonceivable eombinations of reaction steps, the following process provides a novel aminothiazoleacetie acid derivative of the formula ~ . ..
:

8~3 2 ~ ~
- N C-COW' (I) OCCOOC(CH3)3 wherein Rl and R2 each are a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, and W' is h~droxyl or 2-benzothiazolylthio, or a salt thereof in good yield. Thus, this process comprises reacting diketene with a halogen and then with a ~-lower alkyl- or phenyl-thio- or sulfonyl-ethanol, oximating the reaction product withnitrous acid or a salt thereof, reacting it further with thiourea or a salt thereof, etherifying the oxime, if necessary oxidizing the same, and finally eliminatiny the protective group for the carboxy group in the acetic acid moiety. ~his process permits easy and selective removal of the protective group from said carboxy group in acetic acid moiety. It was further found that the compound tI) wherein W' is O~
thus obtained can be reacted with 2,2-dithiobis-benzo-thiazole to produce an active thioester, i.e. the compound (I) wherein W' is 2-benzothiazolylthio, which is an advantageous synthetic intermediate for ~~lactam antibiotics.
The present invention is based on the above findings.
Thus, this invention relates to an aminothiazole-acetic acid derivative (I), a use of the derivati~e (I) as an intermediate for the synthetic production of ~-lactam antibiotics, and a process for preparing the derivative (I) characterized by:

o~idizing further the reaction product (V') or a salt thereof when W is S; and (i) hydrolyæing the resulting compound of formula (VII):

Nl ~ C-COOC2H4SO2R (VII) o-c-coac (CH3)3 wherein the sybmols are as deined above, or a salt thereof, in the presence of a base, to obtain the derivative (I) wherein W' lS OH or (ii) hydrolyzing the compound (VII) .

or a salt thereof in the presence of a base, and reacting the obtained derivative (I) wherein W' is OH with 2,2-dithiobis-benzothiazole to obtain the derivative (I) wherein W' is 2-benzothiazolylthio.
Referring to the above formulas, Rl and R2 are the same or different and each represents hydrogen or lower alkyl. The lower alkyl group Rl or R2 may be a group containing l to 4 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl, etc. Preferred are the cases in which both Rl and R2 are hydrogen or methyl, or one of Rl and R2 is hydrogen and the other methyl. R is lower alkyl or phenyl. The lower alkyl R may for example be a Cl 4 lower alkyl as mentioned for Rl and R2. Preferred examples of R are methyl and ethyl. The halogen X, X' may for example be chlorine, bromine, iodine or fluorine. X and X' may be the same halogen or different halogens. Frequently used examples of X and X' are chlorine and bromine. W stands for S or SO2 W' is OH or -S ~/S ~
In the method accoxding to this invention, diketene is reacted with a halogen in the first place to give a 4-haloacetoacetyl halide. In this step, diketene may be reacted with an equimolar or slig~htly less than equimolar amount of a halogen under cooling. This reaction may be conducted in a solvent. As the solvent, a halogenated hydrocarbon such as methylene chloride, chloroform, etc., an ester such as ethyl acetate, etc., or an ether such as ether, dioxane, etc., for instance, may be employed.
The reaction may be conducted under cooling, i.e. from -70C to 10C. The reaction time may be very short and generally the reaction may go to completion substantially upon completion of addition of the halogen. It may be, therefore! sufficient to stir the reaction system for about 30 minutes after addition of the halogen. The resulting 4-haloacetoacetyl halide can be separated and purified by the conventional procedure, e.g. concentration, ... .

i323 solvent extraction, pH adjustment, crystallization, chromatography, etc., but it is advantageous to submit the reaction mixture as such to the next reaction step.
The 4-haloacetoacetyl halide is then reacted with alcohol (II) to give compound ~III).
In this step, the 4-haloacetoacetyl halide is preferably reacted with an equivalent or slightly less than equivalent amount of alcohol (II). This reaction may be conducted in a solvent. The solvent may be any solvent that does not interfere with the reaction, and may be preferably a halogenated hydrocarbon such as methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, etc. or an ether such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, diethyl ether, etc., for instance. Further, this reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a base. As such a base, there may, for example, be employed aromatic amines such as pyridine, picoline, N,N-dimethylaniline, etc. and aliphatic tertiary amines such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, etc. The amount of the base is about 1-3 moles per mole of alcohol (II). Generally, the reaction may be conducted under cooling or at room temperature (at -20 to 40C). The reaction generall~ goes to completion in tens of minutes to a few hours. The resulting 4-haloacetoacetic acid ester (III) can be purified by the conventional purification procedure such as distillation, phasic transfer, recrystal-lization, etc. but since this reaction proceeds in high yield, the reaction mixture may be submitted to the next reaction step without prior purification.
The 4-haloacetoacetic acid ester (III) is then reacted with nitrous acid or a salt thereof to give the oxime.
The reaction is generally carried out using compound (III~ and nitrous acid in an approximately equimolar ratio, although nitrous acid may be used in slight excess. While nitrous acid may be used as it is, it can be used as a salt with an~alkali metal su-h as sodium or potassium, for instance The reaction may proceed in a solvent~ The reaction temperature may be under cooling or at room temperature (at -50 to 50C, preferably -10 to 40C). The solvent used for this reaction may for example be an ether, e.g. tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, diethyl ether, etc., a fatty acid such as glacial acetic acid, or a mixture thereof. The amount of water which may be added to such solvent is virtually op~ional. As an alternative, an aqueous solution of nitrite (e.g. sodium nitrite) may be added to consequently introduce water into the reaction system. The reaction time depends on the amounts of starting compounds, the solvent, etc. The reaction may go to completion in a very short time (20 minutes to 3 hours). The product oxime (IV) can be purified by the known procedure such as distillation, solvent extraction, concentration, recrystallization<, etc., but it is generally unnecessary to purify it but the reaction mixture as such may be used as the reactant for the next step.
The compound (V) or a salt thereof can be produced by reacting this oxime compound (IV) with thiourea or a salt thereof.
Generally, each mole of compound (IV) is reacted with one mole or a slight excess of thiourea or a salt thereof, although thiourea may be used in larger excess unless the reaction is not thereby adversely affected. As a salt of thiourea, there may, for example, be a salt with an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, etc. This reaction is generally conducted in a solvent. The solvent is preferably a mixture of water with a water-miscible solvent such as an alcohol, eOg. methanol, ethanol, etc~, a ketone, e.g. acetone, diethyl ketone, etc., an ether e.g~ tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, diethyl ether, etc., an acid amide, e.g. N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethyl-acetamide, etc., or an organic amine, e.g. N-methyl-piperidone, etc. Furthermore, the syn~isomer (V) is selectively produced when the reaction is conducted in the presence of a basic reagent. The basic reagent used for this reaction may be an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt of a lower aliphatic carbo~ylic acid, or an inorganic or organic base having a pKa value of 9,5 or more, preferably a pKa value of 9.8 to 12Ø Examples of the lower aliphatic carboxylic acid salt include salts of lower aliphatic carboxylic acids containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, e.g. sodium acetate, potassium acetate, calcium acetate, barium acetate, sodium formate, sodium propionate, potassium hexanoate, etc. The inorganic base may for example be a carbonic acid al~ali metal salt such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, etc. While, the organic base is exemplified by tri-lower (Cl 4)alkyl-substituted amines such as trimethylamine, triethylamine,tributylamine, etc. and N-lower (Cl 2)alkyl-substituted 5- to 6-membered cyclic amines such as N-methylpyrrolidine, N-ethylpyrrolidine, N-methylpiperazine, N-ethylpiperazine, etc. When any of said N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N~dimethyl-acetamide and N-methylpyrrolidone is used as the solvent, the above-mentioned base may not necessarily be added.
While the addition level of such base depends on the kinds of starting material and solvent, it may range from O.S to 1.5 moles pex mole of compound (IV). The reaction is generally conducted at 0 to 40C, although the reaction system may be cooled or warmed to control the reaction rate. The reaction may to completion in 10 minutes to 4 hours. The resulting compound of formula (V) can be separated and purified by the conventional procedure such as distillation, pH adjustment, crystallization, recrystal-lization, etc. When the a -isomer i5 included as an impurity, it-can be separated by the conventional procedure such as fractional crystallization, chromatography, etc.
Since compound (V) has basic amino group in 2-position of the thiazole ring, it may be converted to the salt with an organic acid such as acetic acid, tartaric acid, ~4~23 methanesulfonic acid, etc., an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, etc~ or an acidic amino acid such as arginine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, etc. by the con-ventional procedure and isolated as such salt.
The compound (V) or a salt thereof is then reacted with compound (VI) and, if W is S, the reaction product is further oxidized to a compound of formula (VII) or a salt thereof.
The compound (V) may be one having a free amino group or one in which the amino group has formed a salt with one of the acids as mentioned above. Theoretically, one molar equivalent of compound (VI) may be reacted with one equivalent of compound (V) or a salt thereof. Usually, however, 1.5 to 2.0 equivalents of compound (VI) may be used per mole of compound (V) or a salt thereof. This reaction is conducted in a solvent.
The solvnet is preferably a ketone such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, etc. or a nitrile such as acetonitrile, propionitrile, etc.
~ base may be added to the reaction system for the purpose of conducting the reaction advantageously. The base may be any base that will promote the reaction and is preferably an alkali carbonate such as potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, etc. The amount of such base may be 1.5 to 10 molar equivalents, preferably 1.5 to 5 equivalents, based on starting compound (V). For a smooth conduct of the reac-tion, it is preferable to add water to the reaction system, and particularly to the solvent, and the addition level of water may be 0.1 to 2% by volume, preferably 0.5 to 1.5% by volume, relative to the solvent. The reaction temperature may be 10 to 60C and preferably 20 to 50C.
Under these conditions the reaction proceeds quantitatively and the starting materials disappear in 0.5 to 3 hours.
rrhus, the reaction may be completed at this time point.

After completion of the reaction, the desired ~y~-isomer (V') can be separated and purified by the conventional procedure such as extraction, pH adjustment, chromatography, etc.
When W of compound (V) is S, the resulting compound of the formula [i.e. the formula (V') wherein W is S]:

N ~ C-COOC2H4SR (VII') N\ ll O-C-COOC(CH3)3 wherein the symbols are as defined hereinbefore, is further oxidized to compound (VII). This oxidation of sulfide to sulfone is conducted using an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone or a peracid (e.g. sodium meta-periodate, perbenzoic acid, etc.). Among others, hydrogen peroxide, etc. is employed. The reaction may be readily accelerated by adding a catalyst to such oxidizing agent.
For example, when hydrogen peroxide is used as the oxidizing agent, the addition of a catalytic amount of ammonium molybdate, sodium tungustate or the like accelerates the reaction. The amount of oxidizing agent may ~e 2 to 15 molar equivalents, pre~erably 2 to 7 equivalents, relative to the sulfide. This reaction may be conducted at 0 to 40C, and preferably at room tempera-ture. The reaction may go to completion in 2 to 7 hours.
This reaction is conducted in a solvent. As the solvent, there may be employed a hydrophilic solvent such as acetone, acetonitrile, glacial acetic acid, etc~, for instance,and these solvents may be used in admixture with water.
The resulting sulfone (VII) can be separated and purified by the conventional procedure such as extraction, crystallization,~chromatography, etc. However, since ~2~23 this reaction is substantially not accompanied by side reactions, the reaction mixture may be directly submitted to the next reaction step, i.e. hydrolysis under alkaline conditions, on completion of the oxidation reaction.
The compounds (V'), (VII') and (VII), as well as compound (V), have an amino group in 2-position of the thiazole ring and, therefore, can be converted to a salt such as those mentioned for compound (V) before isolation.
However, the reaction mixture as such i~s preferably submitted to^the next hydrolysis step without separation of compound (VII) or a salt thereof.
The compound (VII) or a salt thereof prepared as above is then hydrolyzed in the presence of a base to give the desired compound (I) wherein W' is OH or a salt thereof.
While it is more convenient to use the reaction mixture from the synthesis of (VII) than to employ the isolated compound (VII), the latter may of course be employed either as a free compound or in the form of salt referred to above. Hydrolysis of compound (VII) or a salt thereof may be conducted by permitting a base to act on (VII) or a salt thereof. The hydrolysis may be conducted a hydro-philic solvent. Water may be added to accelerate the reaction. When a base was employed in the synthesis of (VII), the addition of water alone to the reaction mixture causes hydrolysis to take place in succession to the formation of (VII). The hydrophilic solvent may for example be an alcohol, e.g. methanol; ethanol, etc.; a ketone, e.g. acetone, etc.; or a nitrile, e.g. acetonitrile.
The amount of the solvent may be 2 to 50 volumes, preferably 5 - 10 volumes, relative to the compound (VII). The amount of water to be mixed with such solvent may be 0.5 to 10 volumes, relative to the solvent. The hydrolysis temperature is preferably 5 to 50C. The base may be any one showing pH ranging from about 9 to 12, and may for example be an alkali carbonate such as potassium hydrogen carbonate, potassium carbonate, etc. or an organic amine ~2~3Z3 such as triethylamine, isopropylamine, etc. The amount of the base is preferably one molar equivalent to about ~ equivalents, relative to the compound (VII) or a salt thereof and the hydrolysis generally may go to completion in 30 minutes to 2 hours. The resulting com-pound (I) wherein W' is OH can be separated and purified by the conventional procedure mentioned hereinbefore.
However, the reaction mixture as such may be submitted to the next step without separation of the compound (I) wherein W' is OH. The product compound (I) wherein W' is OH can be converted to an acid salt at the 2-amino group of the thiazole ring just as mentioned for compounds (V) and (VII), and because it has a carboxy group, can also be converted to the salt of an alkali metal such as sodium, potassium, etc. or an alkaline earth metal such~às ~alcium, magnesium, etc. by the conventional procedure.
The product compound (I) wherein W' is OH thus ` obtained can be easily converted to an active thioester at the carboxy group thereof, i.e. the compound (I) wherein W' is -S ~ ~ and can be used as an advantageous acylating agent in the synthesis of ~-lactam antibiotics.
In this application, the steps of protecting the amino group prior to the acylation reaction to prevent side reactions and removing the protective group for the amino group after the acylation reaction, which are necessary in the conventional method for producing the ~-lactam antibiotics, can be omitted~ N
` The compound (I) wherein W' is ~S~~s ~ is produced by reacting the compound (I) wherein W' is O~
with 2,2-dithiobis-benzothiazole. 2,2-Dithiobis-benzo-thiazole may be used in an amount of 1 to 4 moles per mole of (I) wherein W' is OH. The reaction may be conducted in an inactive organic solvent having no hydroxy group in its molecule. A phosphine or phosphite may be added to the reaction system to accelerate the reaction.

As such a phosphine, use may be made of aryl phosphines such as triphenyl phosphine, and as such a phosphite~ use may be made of tri-lower alkyl phosphites such a.s trimethyl phosphite or triethyl phosphite. The phosphine or phosphite is preferably used in an amount of 1 to 2 moles per 1 mole of (I) wherein W' is OH~ The inactive organic solvent in this reaction includes halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, chloroform, etc., nitriles such as acetonitrile, propionitrile, etc., esters such as ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, etc. Among them, nitriles such as acetonitrile, for instance~ are especially preferable. The amount of the solvent may be 10 -50 times (weight) of that of the compound (I) wherein W' is OH. In order to dissolve ~I) wherein W' is OH, a base may be added to the solvent. For example, an organic base such as pyridine, N-methylmorpholine, triethylamine, etc. may be used as the base. The amount of the base may be 1- 2.5 moles per 1 mole of (I) wherein W' is OH. The reaction temperature is normally -30C -50C, preferably -20C - 25C, more preferably -5C -5C. The reaction time is usually about 1 -20 hours. Generally, thus obtained compound (I) wherein W' is 2-benzothiazolylthio(-S <N ~ ) f~rms precipitation and so may be isolated by filtration. If necessary, before the filtration, putting the obtained reaction mixture into water, extracting the aqueous-solution with such an organic solvent as mentioned above and then adding n-hexane, etc. to the extract in this order may be conducted to get the compound (I) wherein W' is 2-benzothiazolylthio as precipitates. Thus, e.g. 2-(2-amino~
thiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(t-butoxycarbonylmethoxyimino)-acetic acid or 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(1-t-butoxycarbonyl-l-methylethoxyimino) acetic acid may be converted to a 2-benzothiazolethio ester, then the latter may be reacted with 7-amino-3-pyridinomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate, and finally the protective group for the carboxy group may be eliminated in the conventionlal manner to give 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(carboxymethoxyimino)acetamido]
3-pyridinomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate or ceftazidime (U.S.P. 4,258,041).
In practicing the above method, 7-amino-3-pyridino-methyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate is reacted with the 2-benzothiazolethio ester in a proportion of 1 mole of the former to at least 1 mole, preferably 1-4 moles of the latter. The reaction may be carried out in a solvent.
The solvent includes water, acetone, dioxane, acetonitrile, methylene chloride, chloroform, dichloroethane, tetra-hydrofuran, ethyl acetate, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, pyridine and other common organic solvents inert to the reaction. Hydrophilic solvents may be used in admixture with water. The reaction may also be conducted in thepresence of such a base as an alkali metal carbonate, a trialkylamine (e.g. trimethylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine~,N-methylmorpholine, N-methylpiperidine , N,N-dialkylaniline, N,~-dialkylbenzyl-amine, pyridine, picoline, lutidine, 1,5-diazabicyclo(4,3,0)-non-5-ene, 1,4-diazabicyclo(2,2,2)octane or 1,8-diazabi-cyclo(5,4,~)undecene-7. When the base is a li~uid, it may also serve as the solvent. A
preferable solvent is a halogenated alkane such as methylene chloride, etc., and as a base, for example, an trialkyl-amine such as trimethylamine, etc. is advantageously used.
The reaction temperature is not critical but, generally, the reaction is carried out in many cases with cooling or at room temperature. The reaction is complete in several minutes to a few scores of hours. The reaction temperature and time are 0 -40C and a few minutes to several hours, respectiveIy, to gain a good result. The protective group for the carbo~yl group of thus obtained compound may be removed in the conventional manner, e.g.
acid or base catalysed hydrolysis~ The reaction product can be recovered and purified by per se known methods, such as concentra~ion, pH adjustment, phase transfer, solvent extraction, crystallization, recrystallization, fractional distillation and chromatography.
And, in the same manner as mentioned above, the 2-benzothiazolethio ester of 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(t-butoxycarbonylmethoxyimino)-acetic acid may be reacted with 7-amino-3-methylthiomethyl or [(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thiomethyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid, and then the protective group of the carboxyl group in the t-butoxycarbonylmethoxyimino moiety may be removed to produce disodium 7~-[2-(2-aminothiazo]-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(carboxymethoxyimino)acetamido]-3-methylthiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate [Compound (A)], or disodium 7~-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-(Z)-2-(carboxymethoxyimino)acetamido-3-[(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thiomethyl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate [Compound (B)]. Thus obtained compounds (A) and (B) show excellent activity against a broad spectrum of bacteria inclusive of gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Serratia marcescens, Proteus . _ . ~ .
