PROCESS FOR PENEMS 2220203 The present invention relates -to a process for
preparing 6-((1R)- hydroxyethyll penems useful in the synthesis of antibacterial agents. to intermediates used in the process and to the preparation of the intermediates, more particularly the invention re lates to a process for the preparation of compounds of formula (I):
ORt H S R, wherein:
COOR ( 1) R reprsents a) alkanoyloxymethyl or 1-(alkanoyloxy)ethyl wherein the alkanoyl moiety is a straight or branched C 2_ C 10 alkanoyl or C4-C. cycloalkanoyl group; b) benzoyloxymethyl or 1-(benzoyloxy)ethyl; c) alkoxycarbonyloxymethyl or 1-(alkoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl; d) 3-phthalidyl; e) 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl unsubstituted or substituted by a c I-C 4 alkyl group in the 5 position; f) -CH 2 COORI wherein R' is a Cl-C4 straight or branched alkyl or benzyl; or g) 2-oxotetrahydrofuran-5-yl unsubstitted or substituted by a cl-c 4 alkyl group at the 4 position; R, is tetrahydrofuranyl or an unsubstituted or substituted C JL-C4 alkyl, methylphenyl or methylphenoxymethyl group, the substituents being chosen from the groups:
(i) carbamoyloxy, CJL-C1$ alkoxy, carboxy or free or % protected hydroxy? and (ii) unsubstituted or substituted and/or fused pyridinium, N-methylpyrrolidinium or piperidinium, the substituents being a said group (i) or a C1-C 4 alkyl group unsubstituted or substituted by a sulfonyloxy or carboxy group; and R 2 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxy protecting group; which process comprises reducing a compound of formula (II) 0 R., p r 1 S R, 0 d;; (11) COOR wherein R, R, and R 2 are as defined above.
The alkoxy moieties preferably contain 1 to 6 carbon atoms, more preferably 1 to 4 carbon atoms. R 2 or the hydroxy protecting moiety in R. may be, for example, a p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, trimethylsilyl, - 3 t-butyldimethylsilyl, t-butyldiphenylsilyl, methoxymethyl, benzyl, pbromophenacyl, triphenylmethyl or tetrahydropyranyl group.
Examples of groups which may be fused to the pyridinium, Nmethylpyrrolidinium, and piperidinium groups are a phenyl group and a C.C. saturated or unsaturated I cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic group. The heterocyclic group may, for example, contain from 1 to 4 heteroatoms selected from oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur atoms. Prefered groups which may be fused to the pyridinium, N-methylpyrrolidinium and piperidinium groups are:
0 5 [D 1 0.1 0 - 0 MC 0; CS and 0 P 0 Examples of compounds of formula (I) are described in European Patent Application No. 88305277.1, GB-A-2,133,010 and GB-A-2,097,786.
The present invention also provides a compound of formula (II) and further provides a process for preparing a compound of formula (II), which process comprises cyclizing a compound of formula (V) OR2 Cr 1= S.,.RI N 0 ≥0 COOR v 11 0 wherein R, R, and R 2 are as defined above.
The compound of formula (V) may be prepared by ozonolysis of a compound of formula (III):
0% Br 5 1. K1 R, 0 N ≥< COOR III wherein R, R, and R 2 are as defined above.
The process of the present invention provides penems of formula (I) in good yield and high optical purity. It differs from the prior art in that the bromine atom is maintained on the C-lactam nucleus until the last step. The substitution of the bromine atom with a hydrogen atom proceeds with higher stereoselectivity on the compound of formula (I1) than on other intermediates earlier in the process. Moreover the intermediates involved in the process are more stable, easier to handle than those previously - 5 reported and can therefore be stored without decomposition.
The configuration of the compounds of formula (II) is 15R,6S,(lR)], in order to obtain the preferred final 15R,6S,(lR)] stereochemistry of the penem nucleus. The starting material of formula (III) can be conveniently prepared from 6-aminopenicillanic acid as described in EP-A-0188247. The present invention therefore allows the synthesis of compounds of formula (1) directly from 6-4minopenicillanic acid, as summarized in the following Reaction Scheme.
Compounds of formula (V) in the scheme are prepared by ozonolysis, generally at a low temperature, of compounds (III) and are cyclized into compounds (II), generally by treatment with triethylphosphite or trimethylphosphite in an inert organic solvent, such as chloroform, benzene, toluene or xylene. Examples of conditions for said cyclization are detailed in C. Battistini et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 25, 2595, (1984); A. Yoshida et al. Chem.Pharm.Bull. 31, 768, (1983), and references therein, and in US-A-4,631,150.
Compounds of formula (II) are reduced to the compounds (1) in any appropriate fashion such as catalytic hydrogenation or treatment with reducing metals. Preferably penems M are obtained from (II) by treatment with zinc or an alloy thereof with another metal such as copper or' silver. The reaction is preferably carried out in an organic solvent such as acetonitrile, ethyl ether, H2N ', r S 0 COOH 6-AP.A h R2 gr "0' S,,.oR, 11 0 (f -N ≥0 COOR (v) a-- OH Br 00 ir S ei N 0 (IV) OR..

The reaction temperature is generally from -200C to +800C. At the end of the reaction, penems of formula (I) are recovered by conventional work-up. The reaction crudes, when necessary, are deprotected and purified by column chromatography.
The penems of formula (1) are antibacterial agents. They may therefore be formulated as a pharmaceutical composition also comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.
