Abstract

Cephalosporin antibiotics of the general formula <IMAGE> (wherein R<a> and R<b>, which may be the same or different, each represent a C1-4 alkyl group or R<a> and R<b> together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form a C3-7 cyclo-alkylidene group) exhibit broad spectrum antibiotic activity, the activity being unusually high against gram-negative organisms such as strains of Pseudomonas organisms. The invention also includes the non-toxic salts and non-toxic metabolically labile esters of compounds of formula (I). Also described are compositions containing the antibiotics of the invention and processes for the preparation of such antibiotics.

Description

SPECIFICATION Cephalosporin antibiotics This invention is concerned with cephalosporin compounds possessing valuable antibiotic properties.
The cephalosporin compounds in this specification are named with reference to "cepham" afterJ.
Amer. Chem. Soc., 1962, 84, 3400, the term "cephem" referring to the basic cepham structure with one double bond.
Cephalosporin antibiotics are widely used in the treatment of diseases caused by pahtogenic bacteria in human beings and animals, and are especially useful in the treatment of diseases caused by bacteria which are resistant to other antibiotics such as penicillin compounds, and in the treatment of penicillin-sensitive patients. In many instances it is desirable to employ a cephalosprin antibiotic which exhibits activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, and a significant amount of research has been directed to the development of various types of broad spectrum cephalosporin antibiotics.
Thus, for example, in our British Patent Specification No. 1,399,086, we describe a novel class of cephalosporin antibiotics containing a 7p-(cr-etherified oxyimino)-acylamido group, the oxyimino group having the syn configuration. This class of antibiotic compounds is characterised by high antibacterial activity against a range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms coupled with particularly high stability to /3-lactamases produced by various gram-negative organisms.
The discovery of this class of compounds has stimulated further research in the same area in attempts to find compounds which have improved properties, for example, against particular classes of organisms especially gram-negative organisms.
For example, in our British Patent Specification No. 1,453,049 we describe cephalosporin antibiotics containing a 3-carbamoyloxymethyl group and a 7p-acylamido group of the formula
(wherein R1 is a furyl, thienyl or phenyl group and R2 is a C1-C4 alkyl group, a C3-C7 cycloalkyl group or a phenyl group), the compounds being syn isomers or existing as mixtures of syn and anti isomers containing at least 90% of the syn isomer. These compounds exhibit high antibacterial activity against a broad range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms and particularly high stability to p- lactamases produced by various gram-negative organisms.
Furthermore, in our British Patent Specification No. 1,496,757, we describe cephalosporin antibiotics containing a 7p-acyíamido group of the formula
(wherein R is a thienyl or furyl group; RA and RB may vary widely, and may, for example, be Ci-n alkyl groups or together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form a C37 cycloalkylidene group, and m and n are each 0 or 1 such that the sum of m and n is O or 1), the compounds being syn isomers or mixtures of syn and anti isomers containing at leat 90% of the syn isomer. The 3-position of the cephalosporin molecule may be unsubstituted or may contain one of a wide variety of possible substituents. These compounds have been found to have particularly good activity against gramnegative organisms.
Other compounds of similar structure have been developed from these compounds in further attempts to find antibiotics having improved broad spectrum antibiotic activity and/or high activity against gram-negative organisms. Such developments have involved variations in not only the 7p- acylamido group in the above formulae but also the introduction of particular groups in the 3-position of the cephalosporin molecule.
Thus, for example, in Belgian Patent Specification No. 852,427, there are described cephalosporin antibiotic compounds falling within the general scope of our British Patent Specification No. 1,399,086, and wherein the group R in formula (B) above may be replaced by a variety of different organic groups, including 2-aminothiazol-4-yl, and the oxygen atom in the oxyimino group is attached to an aliphatic hydrocarbon group which may itself be substituted by, for example, carboxy. In such compounds, the substituent at the 3-position is an acyloxymethyl (for example, carbamoyloxymethyl), hydroxymethyl, formyl or optionally substituted heterocyclic-thiomethyl group.
Furthermore, Belgian Patent Specification No. 836,813 describes cephalosporin compounds wherein the group R in formula (B) above may be replaced by, for example, 2-aminothiazol-4-yl, and the oxyimino group is a hydroxyimino or blocked hydroxyimino group, e.g. a methoxyimino group. In such compounds, the 3-position of the cephalosporin molecule is substituted by a method group which may itself be optionally substituted by any of a large number of residues of nucleophilic compounds therein described, an example of such a substituted methyl group being given as a carbamoyloxymethyl group which may itself be substituted by an alkyl group, e.g. a methyl group. In the above-mentioned specification no antibiotic activity is ascribed to such compounds which are only mentioned as intermediates for the preparation of antibiotics described in that specification.
Belgian Patent Specification No. 853,545 describes cephalosporin antibiotics wherein the 7,B- acylamido side chain is primarily limited to a 2-(2-aminothiazoi-4-yl)-2-(syn)-methoxyimino-acetamido group and the substituent in the 3-position is broadly defined in a similar manner to that in the abovementioned Belgian Patent Specification No. 836,813. Compounds specifically exemplified in the Specification include compounds in which the 3-position is substituted by a carbamoyloxymethyl radical.
We have now discovered that by an appropriate selection of a small number of particular groups at the 713-position in combination with a carbamoyloxymethyl group at the 3-position, cephalosporin compounds having particularly advantageous activity (described in more detail below) against a wide range of commonly encounternd pathogenic organisms may be obtained.
The present invention provides cephalosporin antibiotics of the general formula
(wherein Ra and Rb, which may be the same or different, each represent a C14 alkyl group (preferably a straight-chain alkyl group i.e. a methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or n-butyl group, and particular!y a methyl or ethyl group) or Ra and Rb together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form a C37 cycloalkylidene group, preferably a C35 cycloalkylidene group) and non-toxic salts and non-toxic metabolically labile esters thereof.
The compounds according to the invention are syn isomers. The syn isomeric form is defined by the configuration of the group
with respect to the carboxamido group. In this specification the syn configuration is denoted structurally as
It will be understood that since the compounds of the invention are geometric isomers, some admixture with the corresponding anti isomer may occur.
The compounds according to the present invention may exist in tautomeric forms (in respect of the 2-aminothiazolyl group) and it will be understood that such tautomeric forms, e.g. the 2aminothiazolinyl form, are included within the scope of the invention.
It will also be appreciated that when Ra and Rb in the above formula represent different C14 alkyl groups, the carbon atom to which they are attached will comprise a centre of asymmetry. Such compounds are diastereoisomeric and the present invention embraces individual diastereoisomers of these compounds as well as mixtures thereof.
The present invention also includes within its scope the solvates (especially the hydrates) of the compounds of formula (I). It also includes within its scope salts of esters of compounds of formula (I).
The compounds according to the invention exhibit good broad spectrum antibiotic activity. Against gram-negative organisms the activity is unusually high. This high activity extends to many p-lactamase producing gram-negative strains. The compounds also possess high stability to p-lactamases produced by a range of gram-negative organisms.
Compounds according to the invention have been found to exhibit unusually high activity against strains of Pseudomonas, e.g. strains of Pseudomonas aeroginosa, as well as high activity against various members of the Enterobacteriaceae (e.g. strains of Escherichia coli, Kiebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhimurium, Enterobacter cloacae, Serra tia marcescens, Providence species, Proteus mirabilis and especially indole positive Proteus organisms such as Proteus vulgaris and Proteus organic), as well as strains of Haemophilus influenzae.
Non-toxic salt derivatives which may be formed by reaction of either or both of the carboxyl groups present in the compounds of general formula (I) include inorganic base salts such as alkali metal salts (e.g. sodium and potassium salts) and alkaline earth metal salts (e.g. calcium salts); amino acid salts (e.g. iysine and arginine salts); organic base salts (e.g. procaine, phenylethylbenzylamine, dibenzylethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine and N-methylglucosamine salts). Other nontoxic salt derivatives include acid addition salts, e.g. formed with hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric, nitric, phosphoric, formic and trifluoroacetic acids.The salts may also be in the form of resinates formed with, for example, a polystyrene resin or cross-linked polystyrene divinylbenzene copolymer resin containing amino or quaternary amino groups or sulphonic acid groups or with a resin containing carboxyl groups, e.g. a polyacrylic acid resin. Soluble base salts (e.g. alkali metal salts such as the sodium salt) of compounds of formula (I) may be used in therapeutic applications because of the rapid distribution of such salts in the body upon administration. Where, however, insoluble salts of compounds (I) are desired in a particular application, e.g. for use in depot preparations, such salts may be formed in conventional manner, for example with appropriate organic amines.
These and other salt derivatives such as the salts with toluene-p-solphonic and methanesulphonic acids may be employed as intermediates in the preparation and/or purification of the present compounds of formula (I), for example in the processes described below.
Non-toxic metabolically labile ester derivatives which may be formed by esterification of either or both carboxyl groups in the parent compound of formula (I) include acyloxyalkyl esters, e.g. lower alkanoyloxy-methyl or -ethyl esters such as acetoxymethyl, acetoxyethyl or pivaloyloxymethyl esters. In addition to the above ester derivatives, the present invention includes within its scope compounds of formula (I) in the form of other physiologically acceptable equivalents, i.e. physiologically acceptable compounds which, like the metabolically labile esters, are converted in vivo into the parent antibiotic compound of formula (I).
Examples of preferred compounds according to the present invention include the following compounds and their non-toxic salts and non-toxic metabolically labile esters, namely: (6R,7 R)-7-[(Z)-2-(2-a mi nothiazol-4-yl)-2 -(2-carboxyprop-2-oxyi mi no) acetamidoj-3- ca rba moyloxymethyl-ceph-3-em-4-ca rboxylic acid; and (6R,7R)-7-[(Z)-2-(2-a minothiazol-4-yl)-2-( 1 -carboxycyclobut-1 -oxyimino) acetamido]-3- ca rba moyloxymethyl-ceph-3-em-4-ca rboxylic acid.
Other compounds according to the present invention include for example those wherein the groups Ra and Rb in formula (I) are as follows:-
Ra Rb a) Alkyl groups -QH5 -C2H5 -CH, -C2H5 b) Cycloalkylidene groups cyclopropyl idene cyclopentyl idene cyclohexyl idene The compounds offormula (I) may be used for treating a variety of diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria in human beings and animals such as respiratory tract infections and urinary tract infections.
According to another embodiment of the invention we provide a process for the preparation of an antibiotic compound of general formula (I) as hereinbefore defined or a non-toxic salt or non-toxic metabolically labile ester thereof which comprises (A) acylating a compound of the formula
[wherein RC is hydrogen or an N-protecting group, e.g. a labile group such as an acyl group, especially a lower alkanoyl group such as acetyl, a halo-substituted lower alkanoyl group such as mono-, di- or tri-chloroacetyl, or a chlorosulphonyl or bromosulphonyl group; B is > S or > SO (a:- or 13-);R3 represents hydrogen or a carboxyl blocking group, e.g. the residue of an ester-forming aliphatic or araliphatic alcohol or an ester-forming phenol, silanol or stannanol (the said alcohol, phenol, silanol orstannanol preferably containing 1-20 carbon atoms) and the dotted line bridging the 2-, 3-, and 4-positions indicates that the compound is a ceph-2-em or ceph-3-em compound] or a salt, e.g. an acid addition salt (formed with, for example, a mineral acid such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric, nitric or phosphoric acid or an organic acid such as methanesulphonic or toluene-p-sulphonic acid) or a base salt formed with a cation such as Na+ or K+, or an N-silyl derivative thereof, with an acid of formula
(wherein Ra, Rb, R5 B and the dotted line are as defined above: and R3 and R3a may independently described for R3; and R5 is an amino or protected amino group) or with an acylating agent corresponding thereto; or (B) reacting a compound of formula
(wherein Ra, Rb, R5, B and the dotted lines are as defined above; and R3 and r3e may independently represent hydrogen or a carboxyl blocking group) or a salt thereof, with an acylating agent serving to form a carbamoyloxymethyl or N-protected carbamoyloxymethyl group at the 3-position; whereafter, if necessary and/or desired in each instance, any of the following reactions (C) in any appropriate sequence, are carried out:i) conversion of a A2-isomer into the desired A3-isomer, ii) reduction of a compound wherein B is > SO to form a compound wherein B is > S, iii) conversion of a carboxyl group into a non-toxic salt or non-toxic metabolically labile ester function, and iv) removal of any carboxyl blocking and/or N-protecting groups.
In the above'described process (A) the starting material of formula (II) is preferably a compound wherein B is > S and the dotted line represents a ceph-3-em compound.
Acylating agents which may be employed in the preparation of compounds of formula (I) include acid halides, particularly acid chlorides or bromides. Such acylating agents may be prepared by reacting an acid (III) or a salt thereof with a halogenating agent e.g. phosphorus pentachloride, thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride.
Acylations employing acid halides may be effected in aqueous and non-aqueous reaction media, conveniently at temperatures of from -50 to +500C, preferably -20 to +300C, if desired in the presence of an acid binding agent. Suitable reaction media include aqueous ketones such as aqueous acetone, esters such as ethyl acetate, halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, amides such as dimethylacetamide, nitriles such as acetonitrile, or mixture of two or more such solvents.
Suitable acid binding agents include tertiary amines (e.g. triethylamine ordimethylaniline), inorganic bases (e.g. calcium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate), and oxiranes such as lower 1 ,2-alkylene oxides (e.g. ethylene oxide or propylene oxide) which bind hydrogen halide liberated in the acylation reaction.
Acids of formula (III) may themselves be used as acylating agents in the preparation of compounds of formula (I). Acylations employing acids (Ill) are desirably conducted in the presence of a condensing agent, for example a carbodiimide such as N,N'dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or N-ethyl-N'-y- dimethylaminopropylcarbodiimide; a carbon compound such as carbonyldiimidazole; or an isoxazoliu m salt such as N-ethyl-5-phenylisoxazolium perchlorate.
Acylation may also be effected with other amide-forming derivatives of acids of formula (III) such as, for example, an activated ester, a symmetrical anhydride or a mixed anhydride (e.g. formed with pivalic acid or with a haloformate, such as a lower alkylhaloformate). Mixed anhydrides may also be formed with phosphorus acids (for example phosphoric or phosphorous acids), sulphuric acid or aliphatic or aromatic sulphonic acids (for example toluene-p-sulphonic acid). An activated ester may conveniently be formed in situ using, for example, 1 -hydroxybenzotriazole in the presence of a condensing agent as set out above. Alternatively, the activated ester may be performed.
Acylatibn reactions involving the free acids or their above-mentioned amide forming derivatives are desirably effected in an anhydrous reaction medium, e.g. methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide or acetonitrile.
If desired, the above acylation reactions may be carried out in the presence of a catalyst such as 4 dimethylaminopyridine.
The acids of formula (III) and acylating agents corresponding thereto may, if desired, be prepared and employed in the form of their acid addition salts. Thus, for example, acid chlorides may conveniently be employed as their hydrochloride salts, and acid bromides as their hydrobromide salts.
Carbamoylation of 3-hydroxymethyl compounds of formula (IV) may be effected by conventional methods using suitable carbamoylating agents, such suitable carbamoylating agents include isocyanates of formula Rd.NCO (wherein Rd is a labile substituent group), to give a compound containing a 3-position substituent having the formulaCH20.CONHRd (wherein Rd has the above defined meaning). The labile group Rd may subsequently be cleaved, e.g. by hydrolysis, to form a 3carbamoyloxymethyl group.Examples of labile groups Rd which are readily cleavable upon subsequent treatment include those labile groups hereinbefore given as examples of the group RC, and halogenated lower alkoxycarbonyl groups such as 2,2,2-trichloroethoxyca rbony!. Such labile groups may generally be cleaved by acid or base catalysed hydrolysis (e.g. by base catalysed hydrolysis using sodium bicarbonate).
The above-defined compounds of formula (IV) employed as starting materials in process (B) above are naw compounds, and constitute a further feature of the present invention. In addition to their utility as intermediates for the preparation of cephalosporin compounds having 7-side chains of the same type as those of formula (I) above and having a variety of groups at the 3-position, the compounds also possess useful antibiotic activity similar to that described above for compounds of formula (II). These compounds may be prepared for example by enzymatic hydrolysis (e.g. using Rhodospiridium toruloides orRhodotorula rubra) of a corresponding 3-acyloxymethyl compound, e.g. the 3-acetoxymethyl compound, for example in an analogous manner to that described in British Patent Specifications 1,531,212 and 1,474,519 respectively. A2-Cephalosporin ester derivative obtained in accordance with the process of the invention may be converted into the corresponding A3-derivative by, for example, treatment of the A2-esterwith a base such as pyridine or triethylamine.
A ceph-2-em reaction product may also be oxidised to yield the corresponding ceph-3-em 1oxide, for example by reaction with a peracid, e.g. peracetic or m-chloroperbenzoic acid; the resulting sulphoxide may, if desired, subsequently be reduced as described hereinafter to yield the corresponding ceph-3-em sulphide.
Where a compound is obtained in which B is > SoO this may be converted to the corresponding sulphide by, for example, reduction of the corresponding acyloxysulphonium oralkoxysulphonium salt prepared in situ by reaction with e.g. acetyl chloride in the case of an acetoxysulphonium salt, reduction being effected by, for example, sodium dithionite or by iodide ion as in a solution of potassium iodide in a water-miscible solvent e.g. acetic acid, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, dioxan, dimethylformamide or dimethylacetamide. The reaction may be effected at a temperature of from --200 to +500C.
Metabolically labile ester derivatives of the compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by reacting a compound of formula (I) or a salt or protected derivative thereof with an appropriate esterifying agent such as an acyloxyalkyl halide (e.g. iodide) conveniently in an inert organic solvent such as dimethylformamide or acetone, followed, where necessary, by removal of any protecting groups.
Base salts of the compounds of formula (I) may be formed by reacting an acid of formula (I) with an appropriate base. Thus, for example, sodium or potassium salts may be prepared using the respective 2-ethylhexanoate or hydrogen carbonate salt. Acid addition salts may be prepared by reacting a compound of formula (I) or a metabolically labile ester derivative thereof with an appropriate acid.
Where a compound of formula (I) is obtained as a mixture of isomers, the syn isomer which may be obtained by, for example, conventional methods such as crystallisation or chromatography.
For use as starting materials for the preparation of compounds of general formula (I) according to the invention, compounds of general formula (III) and acid halides and anhydrides corresponding thereto in their syn isomeric form or in the form of mixtures of the syn isomers and the corresponding anti isomers containing at least 90% of the syn isomer are preferably used.
Acids of formula (III) (provided that R8 and Rb together with the carbon atom to which they are attached do not form a cyclopropylidene group) may be prepared by etherification of a compound of formula
(wherein R5 is as hereinbefore defined and R6 represents a carboxyl blocking group), by reaction with a compound of general formula
(wherein Ra and Rb and R4 are as hereinbefore defined and T is halogen such as chloro, bromo or iodo; sulphate; or sulphonate such as tosylate), followed by removal of the ca rboxyl blocking group R-6.
Separation of isomers may be effected either before or after such etherification. The etherification reaction is generally carried out in the presence of a base, e.g. potassium carbonate or sodium hydride, and is preferably conducted in an organic solvent, for example dimethylsulphoxide, a cyclic ether such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxan, or an N,N-disubstituted amide such as dimethylformamide. Under these conditions the configuration of the oxyimino group is substantially unchanged by the etherification reaction. The reaction shou Id be effected in the presence of a base if an acid addition salt of a compound of formula (IV) is used. The base should be used in sufficient quantity to neutralise rapidly the acid in question.
Acids of general formula (III) may also be prepared by reaction of a compound of formula
(wherein R5 and R0 are as hereinbefore defined) with a compound of formula
(wherein Ra, Rb and R4 are as defined above), followed by removal of the carboxyl blocking group R6, and where necessary by the separation of syn and anti isomers.
The last mentioned reaction is particularly applicable to the preparation of acids of formula (III) wherein Ra and Rb together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form a cyclopropylidene group. In this case, the relevant compounds of formula (VIII) may be prepared in conventional manner, e.g. by means of the synthesis described in Belgian Patent Specification No. 866,422 for the preparation of t-butyl 1-amino-oxycyclopropane carboxylate.
The acids of formula (III) may be converted to the corresponding acid halides and anhydrides and acid addition salts by conventional methods, for example as described hereinbefore.
It should be appreciated that in some of the above transformations it may be necessary to protect any sensitive groups in the molecule of the compound in question to avoid undesirable side reactions.
For example, during any of the reaction sequences referred to above it may be necessary to protect the NH2 group of the aminothiazolyl moiety, for example bytritylation, acylation (e.g. chloroacetylation), protonation or other conventional method. The protecting group may thereafter be removed in any convenient way which does not cause breakdown of the desired compound, e.g. in the case of a trityl group by using an optionally halogenated carboxylic acid, e.g. acetic acid, formic acid, chloroacetic acid.
ortrifluoroacetic acid or using a mineral acid. e.g. hydrochloric acid or mixtures of such acids, preferably in the presence of a protic solvent such as water, or in the case of a chloroacetyl group, by treatment with thiourea.
Carboxyl blocking groups used in the preparation of compounds of formula (I) or in the preparation of necessary starting materials are desirably groups which may readily split off at a suitable stage in the reaction sequence, conveniently at the last stage. It may, however, be convenient in some instances to employ non-toxic metabolically labile carboxyl blocking groups such as acyloxyalkyl groups (e.g.
acetoxy-methyl or ethyl or pivaloyloxymethyl) and retain these in the final product to give an appropriate ester derivative of a compound of formula (I).
Suitable carboxyl blocking groups are well known in the art, a list of representative blocked carboxyl groups being included in British Patent No. 1,399,086. Preferred blocked carboxyl groups include aryl loweralkoxycarbonyl groups such asp-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, pnitrobenzyloxycarbonyl and diphenylmethoxycarbonyl; lower alkoxycarbonyl groups such as tbutoxycarbonyl; and lower haloalkoxycarbonyl groups such as 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyi. Carboxyl blocking group(s) may subsequently be removed by any of the appropriate methods disclosed in the literature; thus, for example, acid or base catalysed hydrolysis is applicable in many cases, as are enzymically-catalysed hydrolyses.
The antibiotic compounds of the invention may be formulated for administration in any convenient way, by anaiogy with other antibiotics and the invention therefore includes within its scope pharmaceutical compositions comprising an antibiotic compound in accordance with the invention adapted for use in human or veterinary medicine. Such compositions may be represented for use in conventional manner with the aid of any necessary pharmaceutical carriers or excipients.
The antibiotic compounds according to the invention may be formulated for injection and may be presented in unit dose form in ampoules, or in multi-dose containers, if necessary with an added preservative. The compositions may also take such forms as suspensions, solutions, or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may contain formulatory agents such as suspending, stabilising and/or dispersing agents. Alternatively the active ingredient may be in powder form for reconstitution with a suitable vehicle, e.g. sterile, pyrogen-free water, before use.
If desired, such powder formulations may contain an appropriate non-toxic base in order to improve the water solubility of the active ingredients, and/or to ensure that when the powder is reconstituted with water, the pH of the resulting aqueous formulation is physiologically acceptable.
Alternatively, the base may be present in the water with which the powder is reconstituted. The base may be, for example, an inorganic base such as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate or sodium acetate, or an organic base such as lysine or lysine acetate.
The antibiotic compounds may also be formulated as suppositories, e.g. containing conventional suppository bases such as cocoa butter or other glycerides.
Compositions for veterinary medicine may, for example, be formulated as intramammary preparations in either long acting or quick-release bases.
The compositions may contain from 0. 1% upwards, e.g. 0.1-99%, of the active material, depending on the method of administration. When the compositions comprise dosage units, each unit will preferably contain 50-1 500 mg of the active ingredient. The dosage as employed for adult human treatment will preferably range from 500 to 6000 mg per day, depending on the route and frequency of administration. For example, in adult human treatment 1 003000 mg per day administered intravenously or intramuscularly will normally suffice. In treating Pseudomonas infections higher daily doses may be required.
The antibiotic compounds according to the invention may be administered in combination with other therapeutic agents such as antibiotics, for example penicillins or other cephalosporins.
The following Examples illustrate the invention. All temperatures are in OC. 'Petrol' means petroleum ether (b.p. 40--600).
Preparation 1 Ethyl (Z)-2 -(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(hydroxyimino)aceta te To a stirred and ice-cooled solution of ethyl acetoacetate (292 g) in glacial acetic acid (296 ml) was added a solution of sodium nitrite (180 g) in water (400 ml) at such a rate that the reaction temperature was maintained below 100C. Stirring and cooling were continued for about 30 min., when a solution of potassium chloride (160 g) in water (800 ml) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred for one hour. The lower oily phase was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was combined with the oil, washed successively with water and saturated brine, dried, and evaporated.The residual oil, which solidified on standing, was washed with petrol and dried in vacuo over potassium hydroxide, giving ethyl (Z)-2-(hydroxyimino)-3-oxobutyrate (309 g).
A stirred and ice-cooled solution of ethyl (Z)-2-(hydroxyimino)-3-oxobutyrate (1 50 g) in dichloromethane (400 ml) was treated dropwise with sulphuryl chloride (140 g). The resulting solution was kept at room temperature for 3 days, then evaporated. The residue was dissolved in diethyl ether, washed with water until the washings were almost neutral, dried, and evaporated. The residual oil (1 77 g) was dissolved in ethanol (500 ml) and dimethylaniline (77 ml) and thiourea (42 g) were added with stirring. After two hours, the product was collected by filtration, washed with ethanol and dried to give the title compound (73 g); m.p. 1 880 (decomp.).
