Description

SPECIFICATION Azetidinone derivatives The invention relates to azetidinone derivatives and to processes for their preparation.
The invention provides azetidinone derivatives of the general formula I
wherein n is O or 1, Ph represents a phenyl group, R" represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, benzyl, acetonyl, p.nitrobenzyl, p.methoxybenzyl, phenyl, p.nitrophenyl, benzhydryl, acetoxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl or phthalidyl group or a group of the formula -CH(CH3) . OCOOC2Hs or -CK2NHCOR2 wherein R2 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a cycloalkyl or aryl group;X represents a group of the formula CH2Z or CH2Z' wherein Z represents a hydroxy, amino or carbamoyloxy group, or a group of the formula OR, or OCOR, wherein R, represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms and Z' represents a mercapto or pyridinium group or a group of the formula SR3 wherein R3 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a 5-methyl-i ,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl, 1methyl1 H-tetrazol-5-yl, 1 ,2,3-triazol-5-yl or pyrazinyl group; Y represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl, cyano or alkoxycarbonyl group or a group of the formula CH2Z in which Z is as above defined; and R' represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, alkoxy, or hydroxyalkyl group, each of which has from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the alcoholic function of the hydroxyalkyl group being free or protected by a p.nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl group.The 3-substituent may have the - or p-configuration.
3a-substitution is preferred.
Preferred groups which R' may represent are methyl, ethyl, methoxy, 1 -hydroxy-ethyl and 1 (p.nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxy)-ethyl groups.
The azetidinone derivatives according to the invention are useful as intermediates in the preparation of certain penem-carboxylic acids and esters which have a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity as well as p-lactamase inhibiting activity (see British Patent Specification No. 2043639, from which this Application is divided). It should be pointed out that the stereochemistry at C4 of the compounds according to the invention, as well as that of all the intermediates of their preparation, is the same as in naturally occurring penicillins and cephalosporins.
The invention further provides a process for the preparation of compounds of the general formula I in which n, R' and R", Y and Ph are as above defined and X represents a group of the formula CH2Z in which Z is as above defined. Such compounds of the general formula I are hereinafter referred to as compounds of the formula (9). The process is illustrated by the following reaction scheme, in which R', R", Y, Ph, Z and n are as above defined and R represents an alkyl group.
The process comprises condensing, in an inert solvent at elevated temperature, a penicillanic acid S-oxide ester of the general formula (2) with an acetylenic compound of the general formula ZCH2C=-CY, isomerising the resultant compound of the general formula (3), preferably in basic conditions, and converting the resultant azetidinone derivative of the general formula (4) into one of the general formula (9) by the steps of (a) ozonolysis of the 1 -substituent of the formula
in solution at reduced temperature, (b) removal of the 1-subsituent of the formula
resulting from step (a) by mild alkaline hydrolysis or by the action of silica gel, (c) condensation of the 1-unsubstituted azetidinone resulting from step (b) with a glyoxylate of the formula CHO .COOR" by refluxing in a solvent, (d) chlorination of the 1-substituent of the formula
introduced in step (c) by the action of a chlorinating agent, and (e) conversion of the 1-substituent of the formula
introduced in step (d) into one of the formula
by reaction with triphenylphosphine, the steps (a) to (e) being carried out in the order given, and the optional step of (f) reduction of the 4P-(substituted vinylsulphinyl) group by the action of a reducing agent, the step (f) being carried out (if at all) immediately after step (a) or step (e), and if carried out after step (e) then being carried out in acidic conditions.
The reaction sequence (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) is possible when Y is not a strong electron withdrawing group. Then the compound (6, n=1) is surprisingly stable.
The optional reduction step (f) may be carried out using phosphorus tribromide or sodium iodide in 8ethyl chloride as reducing agent.
When R' represents a hydroxyalkyl group in the desired compound of the general formula I, the reaction sequence is preferably carried out with the alcoholic function protected.
Compounds of the general formula I in which R" represents a hydrogen atom can be obtained by hydrolysis of hydrogenolysis of corresponding esterified compounds.
The preparation of compounds of the general formula I in which n, R',R", Y and Ph are as herein defined and X represents a group of the formula CH2Z' in which Z' is as above defined is carried out according to the above process with the additional step of converting the substituent Z into a substituent of Z'. The additional step may be carried out at any stage in the above process after the condensation of the penicillanic acid S-oxide ester (2) with the acetylenic compound ZCH2C=-CY, and is necessary because of the difficulty of condensing the penicillanic acid S-oxide ester (2) directly with an acetylenic compound HSCH2-C=-CY, R,SCH2C=CY or PyCH2-C=-CY in which Py represents a pyridinium ion. This process is also within the scope of the invention.
The starting materials of the general formula (2) in which R' represents a hydrogen atom may be prepared from (5R)-6-aminopenicillanic acid following known procedures (see Cignarella et al., Journal of Organic Chemistry, 27,2668 and Evrard et al., Nature, 201, 1124).
When R' represents an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group, it can be introduced according to the procedure of Di Ninno et al., Journal of Organic Chemistry 42, 2960 (1 977). When R' represents an alkoxy group, it may be introduced according to the procedures of Hauser et al., Helv. Chem. Acta, 50, 1327 (1967) and Giddings et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 11, 995, (1978). Alternatively compounds of general formula (2) in which R' represents a hydrogen atom can be converted to compounds of the general formula (2) in which R' represents an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group by introducing the substituent into the 6-position using a strong base, as illustrated in the following Examples.Compounds of the general formula (2) in which R' represents an alkyl or hydroxyalkyl group can also be prepared starting from a suitable ester of penicillanic acid S-oxide, as illustrated in the following Examples. The substitution at the 3-position is stereospecifically directed to the 3-derivatives.
The following Examples illustrate the invention.

0.5 g of the compound prepared in Example 21 were dissolved in 12 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran and cooled to ooh. 1.1 Equivalents of pyridine and 1.1 equivalents of thionyl chloride were added and the mixture was left under stirring for 10 minutes. The insoluble matter was filtered off and the solvent was evaporated off at room temperature to give the title compound in nearly quantitative yield. The product can be used without further purification for the next step.
Example 23 4,B-(1 -acetoxymethyl-3-acetoxy-1 -propenylthio)-3-( 1 -p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyloxyethyl)-1 (acetoxymethoxycarbonyl-1 -triphenylphosphoranylidenemethyl)-azetidin-2-one
A solution of 0.760 g of the compound prepared in Example 22 in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 10 ml of dioxan was stirred overnight at 500C with 2 equivalents of triphenylphosphine and 1.1 equivalents of pyridine. The phosphorane was purified by silica gel column chromatography, eluting with 70:30 by volume dichloromethane:ethyl acetate. 0.480 g of the title compound were obtained.
