Description

SPECIFICATION New heterocyclic carboxylic acids and a process for the preparation thereof The invention relates to new heterocyclic carboxylic acids of the general formula (I),
wherein Y' and Y2 form together a removable carbonyl protecting group, preferably a ketal group or a thioanalogue thereof, and R is a removable amido protecting group, preferably a benzyl group bearing one or more C14 alkoxy substituents or a phenyl group bearing optionally one or more C,~4 alkoxy substituents.
These new compounds are valuable intermediates of the synthesis of thienamycin and related compounds. Thienamycin and its analogues can be prepared from the compounds according to the invention e.g. as shown in Scheme (A).
Scheme (A)
Scheme (A) (contd.)
In the formulae shown on Scheme (A) Y1 Y2 and R are as defined above, X is a selectively removable esterifying group, Q is a C15 alkyl group or a substituted benzyl group, Q' is a C15 alkyl group, a substituted benzyl group, hydrogen atom or an alkali metal ion, and R" is a benzyl, aminoethyl or N-acyl-aminoethyl group.
Thienamycin, an antihiotic of broad spectrum of activity, was prepared first in microbiological way (US patent specification No. 3,950,375) and later on by chemical synthesis (German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,751,597).
Our aim was to provide a new route for the synthesis of thienamycin and its analogues, wherein the azethidinone skeleton and the ce-hydroxyethyl side chain, or a side chain which can be converted easily into -hydroxyethyl group, are formed simultaneously at the early stage of the synthesis, and the resulting key intermediate is converted then into the desired end-product.
It has been found that when a dialkyl (protected amino)-malonate is acylated with diketene and the resulting acylated product is reacted with iodine and an alkali metal alcoholate, an azethidinone compound of the general formula (IV),
containing an a-acetyl side chain, is obtained, which can be utilized as key intermediate in the synthesis.
In the above formula R has the same meaning as given above and Z is a C15 alkyl group.
The intermediates of the general formula (IV) and their preparation are described in detail in our previous Hungarian patent application No. 2262/80. The preparation of these intermediates is also described in the examples of the present application.
It has also been observed that, prior to converting the intermediate of the general formula (IV) into thienamycin or an analogue thereof, it is preferable to protect the keto group of the a-C-acetyl side chain with a group, particularly a ketal group or a thioanalogue thereof, which can be removed at a later stage of the synthesis. Ethylene glycol or a thioanalogue thereof, such as mercapto-ethanol, can be applied particularly preferably to form the ethyleneketal or hemithioketal protecting group.The resulting compound of the general formula (III),
wherein R, Z, Y1 and Y2 are as defined above, is reacted then with an alkali metal halide in pyridine or a related solvent or in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide to obtain a compound of the general formula (II),
wherein R, Y1, y2 and Z are as defined above.
The resulting compound of the general formula (II) is a mixture of cis and trans isomers. The isomers can be separated from each other by chromatography or on the basis of their different solubilities. The separated trans isomer of the general formula (ill)
can be converted into the trans carboxylic acid of the general formula (I) by hydrolysis. It is more preferable, however, to subject the isomeric mixture itself to hydrolysis, since the reaction is selective, i.e. only the trans ester converts into the respective carboxylic acid.
The compounds of the general formulae (III), (11) and (Ila) wherein R is a dimethoxybenzyl group, Y' and Y2 form together an ethyleneketal or hemithioketal group and Z is ethyl are described in our previous Hungarian patent application No. 2263/80, their preparation is, however, described in the examples of the present application as well. The other compounds of the general formulae (III), (11) and (ill) are new. The compounds of the general formulae (I) to (IV) are racemic mixtures.
Based on the above, the invention relates to a process for the preparation of new heterocyclic carboxylic acids of the general formula (I), wherein.
Y' and Y2 form together a removable carbonyl protecting group, preferably a ketal group or a thioanalogue thereof, and R is a removable amido protecting group, preferably a benzyl group bearing one or more C14 alkoxy substituents or a phenyl group bearing optionally one or more C14 alkoxy substituents, in which a compound of the general formula (IV), wherein Z is a C15 alkyl group and R is as defined above, is reacted with a compound capable for the temporary protection of the carbonyl group, preferably with a ketal-forming agent or a thioanalogue thereof, in the presence of a compound which facilitates the reaction, the resulting compound of the general formula (III), wherein Z, R, Y1 and Y2 are as defined above, is reacted with an alkali metal halide in pyridine or a related solvent or in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide, and the resulting compound of the general formula (II), wherein Z, R, Y1 and Y2 are as defined above and which is a mixture of cis and trans isomers, is a) hydrolysed selectively, or b) separated into its components, and the trans isomer of the general formula (ill) is hydrolysed; or a compound of the general formula (III), wherein Z, R, Y1 and Y2 are as defined above, is reacted with an alkali metal halide in pyridine or a related solvent or in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide, and the resulting compound of the general formula (il), wherein Z, R, Y' and Y2 are as defined above and which is a mixture of cis and trans isomers, is a) hydrolysed selectively, or b) separated into its components, and the trans isomer of the general formula (Ila) is hydrolysed; or a compound of the general formula (II), wherein Z, R, Y1 and Y2 are as defined above and which is a mixture of cis and trans isomers, is a) hydrolysed selectively, or b) separated into its components, and the trans isomer of the general formula (ill) is hydrolysed, whereafter the trans compound of the general formula (I) is separated from the reaction mixture.
According to the process of the invention a compound of the general formula (IV) is converted first into a compound of the general formula (III). It is preferred to apply a ketal-forming compound or a thioanalogue thereof as reactant for the temporary protection of the keto group. The reaction is performed preferably in the presence of a compound, such as boron trifluoride-diethyl etherate or an arylsulfonic acid (e.g. p-toluenesulfonic acid or naphthalenesulfonic acid), which facilitates the conversion.
The reaction is performed in an organic solvent, such as benzene, toluene, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, etc., at a temperature from room temperature to the boiling point of the reaction mixture.
Thereafter a compound of the general formula (III) is reacted with an alkali metal halide, preferably sodium or lithium chloride, in the presence of pyridine, quinoline, a homologue or a mixture thereof, or-preferably-in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide to obtain a compound of the general formula (II). If desired, this step can also be performed without separating the compound of the general formula (III) from the reaction mixture where it was formed.
The compounds of the general formula (II) are isomeric mixtures. The trans component of the mixture can be utilized for the preparation of thienamycin or thienamycin analogues.
The isomeric mixture of the general formula (II) can be hydrolysed with an alkali, whereupon the trans compound of the general formula (I) is formed selectively. The alkaline hydrolysing agent is used in a molar equivalent amount or in a reasonable excess.
If desired, the isomeric mixture of the general formula (II) is separated first into its components.
The individual isomers of the compounds wherein R is 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl, Z is ethyl and Y' andY2 form a 1,3-dioxolanyl group can be separated from each other e.g. by chromatography, utilizing Kieselgel 60 (=0.063-0.200 mm) as adsorbent and benzene with gradually increasing acetone content (elution is started with benzene and then the acetone content is increased up to a benzene:acetone ratio of 9:1) as eluting agent. The individual isomers can also be separated from each other on the basis of their different solubilities, since only the cis esters are soluble in ether type solvents, such as diethyl ether.
Thereafter the separated trans isomer of the general formula (ill) is hydrolysed to obtain the trans product of the general formula (I).
The invention is elucidated in detail by the aid of the following non-limiting Examples.
