. --7~388 The N-acyl-2,3-dehydro-amino carboxylic esters havirlg the gel~eral formula (I), as such or Oll saponification of the es~:er ~urlction, are effective inhibitors for the dipeptidase [E.C.3.4.13.11~ and thus valuable substances for maintajning the activity of ~ -lactam antibiotics, particularly those of the thienamycin group. They can also be used as intermediate pro-ducts for the production of the corresponding optically active 2-acyl-amino carboxylic estexs by asymmetric cataly-tic hydro-genation of the prochiral C-C double bonds. When required, the 2-acyl-amino carboxylic esters can then be saponified to the corresporldirlg optically active 2-acyl-amino carboxylic esters.
'rhe production of N-acetyl-2,3-dehydro-amino carboxy-lic ester by reactirlg the corresponding 2-azido-carboxylic esters wi~h a mixture of acetic acid anhydride and acetic acid in the L~resence of rhenium (VII) sulphide is disclosed in German Patent No. 3 140 227. However, this process does not permit the ~oduction of the N-acetyl compounds.
In the process according to the present invention a 2-azido-carboxylic ester having the general formula ~2 Cll - ~CH - CoO~l (II), wherein Rl, R2 and R3 have the Meanings specified hereinbefore, are reacted at a téhperature of between 0 and 150C in the pre-sence of a perrhena~e with a carboxylic acid halide having the general formula 3 o 1~ 4 - C` - H~ I
o ~ III ), 1'~7~79~38 wherei~ 4 llas the meanings specified hereinbefore and the ~lal rep~esents chlorine or brornine.
ln this manner all the N-acyl-2,3-dehydro-amino carboxylic estes can be readily produced in a single-stage process with good yields.
The perrhenate is preferably used in an amount of between 0.005 and 10 mole percent, particularly between 0.1 and 3 mole percent, relative to the amount of 2-azido-carboxylic ester having the general formula (II). Suitable perrhenates are for example, sodium, potassium or ammoniurn perrhenate or sub-stituted ammonium perrhenates such as tetraethyl, tetrabutyl, tetrabenzyl or tricapryl-methyl ammoniurn perrhenate.
Under certain conditions it is advantageous to carry out the reac-tion of the 2-azido-carboxylic ester having the general formula (lI) with the carboxylic acid halide having the general formula (III) in the additional presence of an acid amide, a lactam or of a substituted urea. These substances serving as activators are suitably used in at least an equimolar amount relative to the carboxylic acid halide having the general formula (III). Suitable acid amides are, for exmaple, dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide or hexamethyl phosphoric triamide.
N-methyl pyrrolidone is preferred as loctam. Tetramethyl urea and N,N'-dimethyl-propylene urea are particularly sutiabe as substituted ureas.
The 2-azido-carboxylic esters having the general for-mula (II) and serving as starting materials can be produced according to the process described in Chem. Ber. 117, page 1497 to 1512 (1984) by reacting the corresponding 2-chloro-2-bromo carboxylic esters with an aqueous sodium azide solution in the 30 presence of a phase transfer catalyst. Examples of the 2-azido-carboxylic esters having the general formula (II) which can be reacted by means of the process according to the present inven-1~77988 tiOIl are the esters of 2-azido-propionic acid, -butyric acid, -3-methyl-butyric acid, -3-phenyl-propionic acid, -pentanoi.c acid, -4-methyl-pentanoic acid, -3-cyclopentyl-propionic acid, -3-cyclohexyl-propionic acid, -hexanoic acid, -heptanoic acid, -octanoic acid, -norlanoic acid, -decanoic acid, -hendecanoic acid, -dodecanic acid, tridecanoic, -tetradecanoic acid, -pentadecanoic acid, -hexadecanoic acid, -heptadecanoic acid, -octadecanoic acid, -nonadecanoic acid, -3-methyl-mercapto propionic acid, -3-methoxy-carbonyl-methyl-mercapto pro-10 pionic acid, -3-pherlyl-mercapto propionic acid or 3-phenoxy propionic acld.
The carboxylic acid halides having the general formula (J.II) can be produced by means of generally known processes from the basic carboxylic acids with chlorinating agents such as thionyl chloride, phosphorus trichlorie or phosgene or bromina-tion agents such as a mixture of red phosphorus and bromine or phosphorus tribromide. The acid chlorides are preferably applied as carboxylic acid halides having the general formula ,, (III). The carboxylic acid halides are suitably used in an 20 amount of 1.0 to 1.5 moles, perferably in an amount of 1.0 to 1.1 moles per mole of applied 2-azido-carboxylic acid having the general formula (II).
The process according to the present invention is preferably carri.ed out at a temperature of between 20 and 80C.
The reacti'on is carried out with advantage in an inert solvent. Suitable solvents are, for example, carboxylic alkyl estes, such as acetic ethyl ester, acetic propyl ester, acetic isopropyl ester, acetic butyl ester, propionic ethyl esters;
: acetonitrile, nitro-methane, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane or 30 d:imethoxy ethane. ~lowever, an excess of the acid amides, ~ lactams or substi-tuted u~eas mentioned above can also be applied : instead of an additional solvent.
779t~8 To avoid losses in yield it can be expedient to carry out the reaction in the presence of a small amount of an inhibitor for radical polymerizations, for exa~ple, hydroquinone or hydroquinone monomethyl ether. Suitable amount for the application of these inhibitors are between 0.001 and 10 percent by weight, particularly between 0.1 and 3 percent by weight, relative to the 2-azido-carboxylic ester having the general formula (II).
'~, ' ' i In the case of 2-azido-carboxylic esters that are par-ticularly sensitive to acids it can be advantageous to carry out the reaction with the carboxylic acid halides having the general formula (III) in the additional presence of an acid acceptor, which is suitably applied in an amount equivalent to the carboxylic acid halide. Suitable acid acceptors are particu-larly the acetates or oxalates of sodium or potassium.
For example, the process according to the present in-vention can be so carried out that the 2-azido-carboxylic acid having the general formula (II) in an inert solvent is put into a reactor and that the perrhenate and, when required, the acti-vator and/or polymerization inhibitor are added to the solution, whexeupon the carboxylic acid halide having the general formula (III) is added. In the case of small mixtures the carboxylic acid halide can be added all at once but in the case of large mixtures it is more expedient to add, it slowly, for example, within 1 to 3 hour$.~ The carboxylic acid halide can be added in the pure form or as à solution in the inert solvent used. The rate of addition is suitably so selected that the generation of nitrogen can be kept properly under control.

., , When adding the carboxylic acid halide at room tem-perature the reaction temperature can be kept below approxi-mately 25C by water cool~ing. When operating without external cooling the reaction will sooner or later become exothermic.

~: -- 5 --" 1'~7'7~8 'l'he reaction temperature can then reacll the boiling temperature of t~le ;l~ert solvent -temporarily. In any case the reaction mixl:ure is stirred until the generation of gas is terlllirlated.
When required, the end of the reaction can also be determined IR-spectroscopically by the disappearance of the azide bands~
On terminating the reaction the solvent and, when required, the activator are removed, suitably under reduced pressure, for exa~iple, with a rotary evaporator. The residue is taken up in a readily volatile solvent, for example, acetic ethyl ester, acetic isopropyl ester or diethyl ether, shaken out with an aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and then rewashed with water. 'rhe organic phase dried over sodium sul-phate or magnesium sulphate is then again concentrated by eva-poratioll under reduced pressure, once more in a rotary evapora-tor. In many cases the remaining residue can be crystallized by addi.ng n-pentane. The crystals are then filtered with suction and dried under reduced pressure at a temperature of maximally .~ SOC.
When the residue is a non-crystallizing oil a further purification by distillation in high vacuum, for example, in a bulb tube, can be attempted. In many cases it can also be advantageous to purify the residue by chromatography on a silica gel column. E'or this purpose a mixture of acetic ethyl ester and a low-boiling petroleum ether in a ratio by volume of between 1:1 and l:9,lcan be used as eluate. On evaporating the eluate and removing the last solvent residue in high vacuum the analytically puxe N-acyl-2,3-dehydro-amino carboxylic esters are obtained.
I'he present invention will be explained in greater 30 detail by the l~xamples hereafter.

- The reaction proceeded while homogeneously generating nitrogen within 5 to 6 hours. When the generation of gas was terminated the acetonitrile was removed under reduced pressure. The resi-due was taken up in ~cet:ic ethyl ester, spaken out with 10.5 ml of a 0.5 molar sodium-hydrogen-carbonate solution.
