Description

SPECIFICATION Method for the preparation of an isoxazole derivative The present invention relates to a new method for the preparation of the isoxazole derivative of the formula
The compound of the formula (I) is known from the Hungarian patent application No.
661/83 of the Applicant as an intermediate for the preparation of thienamycin.
It has been found that the compound of the formula (I) can be prepared from a compound of the formula
in a very simple manner.
The compounds of the formula (III), wherein R1 stands for an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, are known from the U.S. patent specification No. 4,269,772 as intermediates for the preparation of thienamycin. However, according to our experiments the thienamycin synthesis in which compounds of the formula (III) are subjected to the reduction method disclosed in said U.S. patent specification is practically inoperative.As it will be disclosed in Examples 5 and 6 of the present specification, a compound of the formula (I) prepared from a compound of the formula (III) can be converted into a compound of the formula
wherein R1 stands for an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and this latter compound can subsequently be converted into the formula
which is the key intermediate for the preparation of thienamycin. The compound of the formula (V) can be converted into thienamycin according to the method described in the European patent application No. 32,400.
Thus, the invention relates to a method for the preparation of the compound of the formula
This method is characterized by treating a compound of the formula
wherein R1 stands for an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, with a suitable oxidizing agent, hydrolizing the resulting compound of the formula
wherein R stands for a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and recovering the product obtained in a manner known per se.
The first step of the method according to the invention is the oxidation of a compound of the formula (III). As oxidizing agent an aqueous solution containing potassium iodide and a halogen, e.g. iodine, bromine or chlorine, is used or said halogen can be replaced by a hypohaloic acid, mainly hypochlorous acid. A compound of the formula (III) is subjected to oxidation in a reaction-inert organic solvent at elevated temperature, suitably at reflux temperature. During this reaction a compound of the formula (II), wherein R is a hydrogen atom, is formed. This compound is recovered through extraction and then subjected to hydrolysis, yielding the compound of the formula (I).
As oxidising agent manganese dioxide can also be used, suitably in an active form. This type of oxidation is carried out in a reaction-inert organic solvent and in the reaction a compound of the formula (II), wherein R is an alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms is obtained. This compound is, if desired, recovered and then subjected to hydrolysis. However, it is more preferable to subject a compound of the formula (II) to direct hydrolysis.
In both cases the hydrolysis is promoted suitably with an acid, although a base can be used as well. In the latter case the yield is less.
The hydrolysis product can be recovered through evaporation of the solvent.
The invention is elucidated by the aid of the following non-limiting Examples.
