Abstract

Novel 3R, 4S and 3R, 4R epimers of the general formula: <IMAGE> useful as intermediates in the preparation of beta-lactam structures can be obtained by reacting a penicillin having the formula: <IMAGE> where R is H or a protected amino or protected amido group, R1 is an alkyl radical having 1-6 carbon atoms, or an aryl radical or a heterocyclic residue and A is an alkyl radical having 1-6 carbon atoms, with a compound R1COOH in the presence of trimethyl phosphite to give a mixture of 3R, 4S and 3R 4R epimers of the general formula: <IMAGE> The latter mixture can be separated into its constituent epimers which can then be converted into the respective intended compound of formula XX by successive isomerisation of the olefinic bond, oxidative cleavage of the olefinic bond to give an oxamide and hydrolitic removal of the oxalyl group, or these successive steps can be applied to said mixture to give a mixture of the intended 3R, 4S and 3R, 4R epimers which are then separated from each other.

Description

SPECIFICATION Synthesis of optically active functionalised azetidinones This invention relates to new azetidinones being compounds having any of the Formulae Ill and IV depicted herein and to processes for preparing those compounds. In particular, the invention relates to a multi-stage process for preparing from certain penicillin derivatives compounds of Formula Ill or IV which are of particular use in the preparation of beta-lactam compounds. Reference herein to compounds of various formulae designated by Roman numerals refers to the formulae of those numbers depicted herein under the heading "Synthetic Diagram" which also shows diagrammatically the routes by which one structure can be obtained from another.It is to be noted that the formulae are arranged in two columns and that the left hand column formulae are of 3R, 4S stereochemical structure and those in the right hand column are of 3R, 4R structure. The system of numbering of the ring structure of the compounds of formulae I to IV and VII to Xis shown in formula In the British Patent Application No. 48064/77 in the name of the present applicants a novel procedure for transforming penicillin ester derivatives into functionalized azetidinones of definite stereochemistry (namely 3S,4S), which have proved to be useful intermediates for the synthesis of classical and non-classical beta-lactam structures, has been disclosed.
In parent Patent Application 7912034 from which the present Application has been divided, there is described and claimed new azelidinones having the formula:
and new azetidinones having the formula
wherein in each formula R is H or a protected amino or amido group or halogen; COOA is a carboxyclic group or an ester or salt thereof; and R1 is a lower alkyl radical (as herein defined), an aryl radical or a heterocyclic residue.
The protected amino or amido group is conveniently a phthalimido, benzamido, phenylacetamido or phenoxyacetamido group, for example (C6H5)3 CNH, C6H5 CONH, C6H5CH2 CONH, C6HSOCH2 CONH or
In group COOA, A is conveniently a lower alkyl radical. The term "lower alkyl radical" as used herein means an alkyl radical having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, for example a methyl, ethyl, propyl or butyl radical.
Where R1 is a lower alkyl, a phenyl or other aryl radical or a heterocyclic residue, it can be a substituted radical or residue as the case may be. Examples of substituted aryl radicals of particular interest are halogen-substituted radicals, for instance mono-or other chloro-substituted phenyl radicals.
Compounds of formulae I or II can be obtained as an epimeric mixture by treatment of a penicillin compound of formula VI with a compound of formula R1 COOH, where R1 has the appropriate meaning. Compounds (i) and (II) may be subsequently reduced to the simpler new azetidinones of general formula (III) and respectively (IV), which are the subject of the present Application,
wherein Rand R1 have the above meanings. Compounds (III) and (IV) are also useful intermediates for the synthesis of classical and non classical compounds having ss-lactam structures.
Compounds of formula (III) can be prepared by a process in which 6-epi-penicillin derivatives of general formula (Vl) (R.D.G. Cooper et al., J.Am.Chem. Soc.,91, 1528(1969) wherein R has the above meaning and COOA is here any acid-stable ester group, are heated (normally at 60-800C) with a weak carboxylic acid R1 COOH, wherein R1 has the above meaning, in the presence of trimethylphosphite (TMP) in a suitable solvent for example benzene, dichloromethane, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, hexamethyl-phosphotriamide, dioxane, dimethyl, formamide and their mixtures to give a separable mixture of two epimeric azetidinones of formula (I) and (II) respectively.
Treatment of compounds (I) with a weak base in an aprotic solvent affords the conjugated esters (VII).
The weak base is conveniently a tertiary amine, for example triethylamine. An example of a suitable aprotic solvent is methylene chloride.
The compounds of formula VII can be transformed into the simpler azetidinones (III) by an oxidative cleavage of the olefinic bond to give the corresponding oxamide compound of formula IX followed by hydrolitic removal of the ozalyl (-CO-COOA) group in the resulting oxamide (IX) (J.H.C. Nayler et al., J.C.S.
Chem.Comm., 1972229 and J.S.C. Perkin 1, 1976,447 R.D.G.Cooper et al. J. Amer Chem.Soc.94 (1972).
By means of similar treatment compounds (II) can be transformed into the simpler azetidinones (IV) via the conjugated esters (VIII) and the oxamides (X).
Alternatively, the aforementioned set of reactions may be carried out on a mixture of the compounds having formulae (I) and (ill); the two resulting azetidinones (Ill) and (IV) can then be separated at the end of the reaction by suitable means, for example, fractional crystallization.
The various aspects of the invention are illustrated by the following Examples 4 and 7, Examples 1 to 3, 5 and 6,8 and 9 being included to illustrate preparation of compounds used in the preparation of compounds Ill and IV.
