Description

SPECIFICATION Heterocyclic compounds containing a c-acetyl group and process for their preparation The invention relates to new heterocyclic compounds containing a C-acetyl group, to a process for their preparation and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
According to one feature of the present invention there are provided compounds of general formula (Ill)
wherein R represents a protecting group suitable for temporary protection of amines and/or amides or an aryl group and Z represents an alkyl group.
In the definition of R the said protecting group suitable for temporary protection of amines and/or amides is preferably an optionally substituted benzyl group and the "aryl group" is preferably an optionally substituted phenyl group.
In the definition of Z the term "alkyl" is used to refer to a straight chain or branched alkyl group, preferably containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms. More preferably, Z represents a methyl or ethyl group.
The compounds of the general formula (III) in which R is aryl are pharmaceutical active and more particularly possess anti-hypoxic properties. Pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds as active ingredient constitute a further feature of the present invention.
The compounds of the general formula (III) are useful as intermediates in a new synthetic route for the preparation of thienamycin. The new thienamycin synthesis in which the intermediates of general formula (III) are obtained more conveniently and with a higher yield than the intermediates of the previous thienamycin syntheses is illustrated in Figure 1 which accompanies this specification. Most preferred are those compounds of general formula (III) wherein R represents a 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group.
The key to Figure 1 is as follows: 1. = formation of ketal or thioketal (preferably with ethylene glycol or mercapto-ethanol) 2. = wherein Y' + y2 = ketal orthioketal 3. = aikali metal halide 4. = alkyl-or arylsulfonic acid halide 5. = wherein R1 is an alkyl or aryl group 6. = wherein Q is an alkyl (preferably methyl or ethyl) group 7. = acetone 8. = chloroformic acid P-nitro-benzyl ester 9. = wherein R2 is a P-nitro-benzyloxycarbonyl group 10. = 2,3-dihydropyran or acetic anhydride 11. = wherein R3 is a tetrahydropyranyl or acetic group 12. = elimination of R and R3 Thienamycin is a well known antibiotic with a wide spectrum of activity which has first been prepared microbiologically (US Patent Specification No. 3,950,357) and then synthetically (Published German Patent Application 2,751,597).
Our intention was to provide a new synthetic route by which the azetidione skeleton and the a-hydroxyethyl side chain (or another side chain which can be easily converted into a a-hydroxyethyl) are formed simultaneously.
It has been found that by acylating a dialkyl (substituted amino)-malonate of the general formula (I).
R - NH - CH(COOZ)2 (I) wherein Rand Z are as hereinbefore defined, with diketene and subjecting the acylated product to cyclization, the corresponding a-acetyl-(N-substituted)-azetidinone derivatives of the general formula (III) are obtained directly. These can easiiy be converted into the desired (a-hydroxyethyl)-azetidione derivatives.
The compounds of the general formula (III) as hereinbefore defined may be prepared by the following process, which process constitutes a further feature of the present inention: Reacting a compound of general formula (I), as hereinbefore defined, with diketene, and treating the compound of general formula (Ila)
(and optionally also the tautomeric compound of general formula (llb)
wherein Rand Z are as hereinbefore defined) thus obtained with an alkali metal alcoholate and iodine or with a similar reagent, and isolating a compound of general formula (III) from the reaction mixture.
Thus, according to one feature of the present invention in the first stage of the synthesis of compounds of general formula (III) a diethyl (substituted amino)-malonate of general formula (I) is acylated with diketene.
If compounds of general formula (III) suitable forthe synthesis ofthienamycin are to be prepared, in the starting materials of general formula (I) R preferably represents a benzyl or substitued benzyl, and more particularly a 4-methoxy-, 3,4-dimethoxy- or 2,4-dimethoxy-benzyl group. The most preferred starting compound of general formula (I) is diethyl (2,4-dimethoxybenzyl-amino)-malonate. The preparation of this new compound is described in Example 1. The compound of the general formula (I) in which R is benzyl is known in the art [P. J. Li: J. Org. Chem. (23) 3414 (1975)1.
In the preparation of compounds of the general formula (III) showing pharmaceutical activity R preferably presents a phenyl or chlorophenyl group. Some of the compounds of general formula (I) in which R stands for an aryl group (including the compounds in which R is phenyl group) are known in the art [Ber.311815 (1895)1. The other starting compounds of general formula (I) may be prepared by methods known from the literature.
The compounds of general formula (I) may be reacted with diketene in the presence of an organic solvent, such as, for example, an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxan, or a saturated aliphatic carboxylic acid which is liquid at room temperature, (e.g. formic acetic or propionic acid).
The reaction is preferably performed at elevated temperature, in certain cases at the boiling temperature of the solvent.
In the first reaction step a compound of general formula (Ila) and in some cases also a compound of the formula (llb) is obtained. In the examples disclosed in the present application under the conditions of 1H-NMR (CDC13) measurement the form correspnding to the general formula (Ila) could be detected. If a compound in which R is 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl is prepared, the tautomeric form corresponding to the general formula (llb) can also be detected in the reaction mixture, in an amount less than 5%. All the compounds of general formulae (Ila) and (llb) are new and constitute a further feature of the invention.
In the second step of the reaction the compounds of the general formula (Ila), and in some cases also compounds of the general formula (llb) are converted into compounds of the general formula (III). In this reaction step as a reagent alkali metal alcoholates and iodine or similar reagents are used. The reaction is preferably performed in the presence of excess amount of the alkali metal alcoholate employed which is preferably sodium or potassium ethylate or methylate. Iodine can be replaced by bromine or a combination of bromine and an alkali metal rhodanide or a rhodanate. The most preferred reagents are iodine and sodium ethylate. The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a lower alkanol, preferably ethanol, or a mixture of an alkanol and ether, under cooling.
The new compounds of the general formula (III) obtained in the reaction are isoiated from the reaction mixture by methods known in the art. The isolation may for example be carried out by thin layer chromatography or by extraction and/or evaporation.
The invention is further illustrated by the following, non-limiting Examples.

(33.69., 0.31 moles) of benzyl amine in 300 ml. of dry toluene, in the presence of 1 g. ofp-toluenesulfonic acid are boiled for 8 hours, while the water formed is continuously removed by a water separator.
