Abstract

3-(Thiomethyl)cephalosporins of the formula in which the substituents are defined in Claim 1 are prepared by a novel process. These compounds are obtained by replacing, in a corresponding cephalosporanic acid which has an acyloxy group in the 3-position, this group by the group -SR<13> by reaction with a sulphur nucleophile in an organic solvent under virtually anhydrous conditions. The compounds obtained can be used for the control of infections in warm-blooded animals (mammals) or as an intermediate for the preparation of other cephalosporins.

Description

The present invention provides a process for the displacement of the acetoxy group of a cephalosporanic acid by a sulfur nucleophil%, in an organic solvent and under essentially anhydrous conditions.
The displacement of the acetoxy group of a cephalosporin by a:sulfur nucleophile is a known reaction (U.S. •Patent 3,278,531). :This patent and other publications (J.
D. Cocker, J. Chem. Soc., 1965, 5015) teach that the reaction occurs only in an aqueous medium. Practical dis10 placements have utilized a salt of the cephalosporanic acid in water along with the sulfur nucleophile or its salt at pH 5-8. The combination of aqueous medium, elevated temperature (35-70eC.),.and near neutral to basic pH are generally destructive of much of the cephalosporin nucleus, and products prepared in this manner often require extensive purification. Attempts to conduct the displacement on cephalosporanic acids in water at lower pH (pH 2-3) lead to substantial lactone formation, a side-reaction that dramatically lowers the yield of desired product.
It has now been discovered that the displacement of the acetoxy group (as well as other 3-acyloxy groups) of cephalosporanic acids by sulfur nucleophiles can be achieved in organic solvents under essentially anhydrous conditions. Reactions under these conditions are not complicated by lactone formation; yields are generally higher; and products are more easily isolated. Some of the products spontaneously precipitate from the reaction mixture. The present process is believed to be general in nature, and applicable to essentially any sulfur nucleophile and any cephalosporanic . acid.
The object of this invention is to provide an improved process for preparing 3-(thiomethyl)cephalosporins.
The present invention is a novel process for preparing a cephalosporin compound of the rj-rmula ;ooh Ί -Λ wherein Rx is -C -C alkyl, 14 or z; or is hydrogen or methoxy; κ is phthalimido, succinimido, a radical of the formula / \=ZT L-ρς yjwherein L is hydrogen or nitroso e CH Z XCH 3 S or a radical of the formula 0 3 .

Ihe term Cg—Cg alkyl, representing R, may far example be methyl. The products of the present process exhibit antibacterial? activity; in addition, many of than: serve as intermediates to yet other cephalosporin products vhich also athibit antibacterial aotivity, see, i I e.g. U.S. 3,932,393. | In the foregoing definitions, the various alkyl terms refer to both straight and.·branched chain alkyl groups. In the definitions cf R as Cg—Cg alkyl, alkyl refers to groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec-butyl, arcyl·, isoamyl, hexyl and 2,3-dimethylbutyl. r The terms —CHg—(Cg—Cg ehlaroalkyl) and -CHg-(Cg-Cg fluoroalkyl) refer to such groups as chloroethyl, fluoroethyl, 2-chloroethyl, 2-chloropropyl, 3-fluoropropyl and 4-chlorobutyl. The term Cg-C^ oyanoalkyl refers to such groups as cyanomethyl, 2-cyanoethyl, 3eyanopropyl and 2-cyanopropyl. The term Cg-C^ hydroxyalkyl refers to such groups as hydroxymethyl, 2-hydroxyethyl, 3-hydroxypropyl and 2-hydroxypropyl.
In both the 3-(acyloxymethyl)cephalosporin of Formula II and the sulfur nucleophile, amino groups are desirably protected. The practice of protecting amino groups is well known. See protective Groups In Organic Chemistry, edited J. T. W. McOmie (Plenum Press, London and New York, 1973). Xn general, protection of an amino group implies removability of the protection group; but that is not necessary as, for example, in a 7-acylamido radical of the formula 0 R120-C-CH-(CH2)2-CH2-C-NHA1 which is subsequently to be cleaved from the cephalosporin. Suitable protecting groups for this radical include C2~C4 alkanoyl, C^-C^ chloro- or fluoroalkanoyl, benzoyl, and substituted benzoyl. The term C2~C4 alkanoyl refers to acetyl, propionyl and'butyryl. The term C3“C4 chloro- or fluoroalkanoyl refers e.g. to 3-chloropropionyl and 3-fluoropropionyl The term substituted benzoyl includes halo-substituted benzoyl groups such as 4chlorobenzoyl, 4-bromobenzoyl, and 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl.
Such groups can also be employed for the protection of amino groups at other locations in the 3-(acyloxymethyl)cephalosporin, and in the sulfur nucleophile. However, when it is desired to regain a free amino group, the protecting group should be one which is readily removable. See McOmie, supra. Suitable protecting groups which are readily removable are benzyloxycarbonyl, p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl, pmethoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, and diphenylmethoxycarbonyl. The amino group of the formula 0 r12O-C-CH-(CH2)2-CH2-C-NHA1 can also be protected as described in Belgian patent 771,694.

The preferred sulfur nucleophiles of Formula III are those wherein R13 is of the formula R .
Suitable five-membered heteroaromatic rings of said formula include the following: pyrrole oxazole isoxazole thiazole isothiazole pyrazole imidazole 1.2.3- oxadiazole 1.2.4- oxadiazole 1.2.5- oxadiazole 1,3,4-oxadiazole 1.2.3- thiadiazole 1.2.4- thiadiazole 1.2.5- thiadiazole 1.3.4- thiadiazole •1,2,’3-triazole 1.2.4- triazole oxatriazole tetrazole Suitable six-membered rings include the following: pyridine pyridazine pyrimidine pyrazine 1.2.3- triazine 1.2.4- triazine 1.3.5- triazine •1,2,3,4-tetrazine 1.2.4.5- tetrazine Certain of the heteroarylthiols, as well as certain of the alkylthiols and phenylthiols of Formula III, actually exist as, thiones or as tautomeric mixtures of thiol and thione. As an example, the compound 2-methyl-l,3,4thiadiazole-5-thiol exists as a tautomer: However, the present reaction proceeds with the designated classes of sulfur nucleophiles regardless of whether the reactant is in the thiol or in the thione form. Accordingly, it is within the scope of the present invention to conduct the reaction employing a thione or thiol-thione tautomer of a designated reactant.
The heteroarylthiol can be unsubstituted or can be substituted by one or more substituents. In general, the identity of substituents is not critical. For best results, any primary or secondary amino group should be protected.
Where a heteroarylthiol contains more than one thiol group, the one which is desired not to undergo reaction should be protected. Methods for protection of thiols are well known; see McOmie, supra. Assuming the protection of such groups, the reaction goes forward regardless of the identity of substituent.
It is preferred to avoid excessively bulky substitution; generally, substitution not exceeding a molecular weight of about 500 is preferred. Most common substituted heteroaromatic rings contain substitution of a total molecular weight less than about 250.
Suitable substituents include C^-C4 alkyl, Cg-C^ alkenyl, Cg-C^ alkynyl, C^-Cg cycloalkyl, benzyl, phenethyl, aryl including phenyl and substituted phenyl as defined hereinabove, halo -CFg, —OH, protected amino or 2 alkylamino, -COOH, -COOA , -CONHg, protected aminomethyl or C^-C^ alkylaminomethyl, -CHgSOg-alkali metal, -CHgCOOH, -CHgCOOA2, or - (CHg)gN(CHg)2.

Most of the sulfur nucleophiles to be employed in the present process are known compounds, and all can be prepared in accordance with prior art procedures. In the case of the heteroarylthiols, attention is directed to the numerous volumes of Heterocyclic Compounds, edited by Robert C. Elderfield (John Wiley and Sons, Inc., N.Y.), as well as the various volumes on the particular heterocyclic systems in the series The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, edited by Weissberger et al. (John Wiley and Sons, N.Y.).
It is critical to the present invention that the reaction be carried out in an organic solvent. ’However, the identity of the solvent is not critical, since a great variety of organic solvents has proven satisfactory. In general, members of the following classes of solvents have been found satisfactory: hydrocarbons, both aliphatic and aromatic, alcohols, amides, ethers, ketones, carboxylic acids, carboxylic acid esters, haiogenated hydrocarbons, nitro compounds, nitriles, and thioethers. Since certain of the nucleophiles are liquids, an excess of such reactant can also be employed as solvent.
-- The solvent should be inert, in the sense that it 25 does not undergo a competing reaction with either reactant.
Particular solvents which are suitable in carrying out the present practice include pentane, cyclopentane, hexane, heptane, octane, benzene, toluene, ο-, m-, or pxylene, cumene, mesitylene, p-cymene, 1-pentene, isopropanol diethyl r 2d ether, butyl ethyl ether, diamyl ether, benzyl ethyl ether, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, 2-butanone, 3-pentanone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, valeric acid, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, ethyl propionate, butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, sec-butyl acetate, amyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl isovalerate, methyl benzoate, benzyl acetate, methyl butyrate, diethyl carbonate, dimethyl maleate, diethyl oxalate, ethylene glycol diacetate, diethyl malonate, fluorobenzene, chlorobenzene, bromobenzene, ο-, m- or pfluorotoluene, ο-, m-, or p-chlorotoluene, ο-, m-, or pbromotoluene, 2-chloroethane, 1- or 2-chloropropane, 1- or 2-chlorobutane, l-chloro-2-methylpropane, 1, 2, or 3-chloro pentane, 1-chloronaphthalene, methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,2dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, ο-, m-, or p-dichlorobenzene, nitromethane, nitroethane, 1- or 2-nitropropane, nitrobenzene, acetonitrile, propionitrile, butyronitrile, isobutyronitrile, valeronitrile, benzonitrile, phenylacetonitrile, and thiophene.

The 3-(acyloxymethyl)cephalosporin of Formula II has been defined as the acid. It is believed to be the acid which undergoes reaction, since cephalosporin salts are generally not soluble in organic solvents. The exception is the solubility of cephalosporin salts in carboxylic acid solvents, such as acetic acid. Therefore, the present reaction can be accomplished by dissolving a 3-(acyloxy15 methyl)cephalosporin salt, such as a metal salt, in a carboxylic acid solvent.
Regardless of the identity of the solvent, it is necessary that the present process be conducted under essentially anhydrous conditions. In general, the reaction mixture should contain less than 5 percent of water, and preferably less than 1 percent of water. It is even more preferred that the amount of water be less than 0.5 percent. Where commercial sources of reactants and solvents are not dry enough, removal of water can be carried out in accor'5 dance with known procedures, including azeotroping and the use of drying agents such as alumina, silica gel and anhydrous calcium sulfate a The present reaction goes forward under a wide range of temperatures. In general, reaction temperatures of 50-140°C. can be used; but better results are usuallyachieved at temperatures of 70-120°C. The reaction can be conducted at elevated pressures, but no advantages have been observed. Hence atmospheric pressure is generally preferred because of its simplicity.
The amounts of the reactants are not critical. In general, an excess of the sulfur nucleophile is preferred, such as 1.0 to 5.0 molar equivalents of sulfur nucleophile per molar equivalent of the 3-(acyloxymethyl)cephalosporin reactant.
The present process is particularly useful for the introduction into cephalosporins of the following 315 heteroarylthio groups: -methyl-l,3,4-thiadiazol-2-ylthiol-methyl-lH-tetrazol-5-ylthiol-carboxymethyl-lH-tetrazol-5-ylthio4-methyl-6-hydroxy-5-oxo-l,2,4-triazin20 3-ylthio1- methyl-l,3,4-triazol-2-ylthio2- methyl-1,3,4-triazol-5-ylthio1,2-(limethyl-l,3,4-triazol-5-ylthio3- methyl-l, 3,4-triazol-5-ylthio25 2,3-dimethyl-l,3,4-triazol-5-ylthiol-methyl-2-trifluoromethyl-l,3,4-triazol5-ylthiol-itethyl-2-carbanqyl-l ,3,4-triazol-5-ylthio30 l-methyl-2-carboxymethyl-l,3,4-triazol-5-ylthiol-methyl-2-carboalkoxy-l,3,4-triazol-5-ylthio1-methyl-2-(protected aminomethyl)-1,3,4-triazol1 1-methyl-2-(protected amino)-1,3,4-triazol-5ylthiol-meth’yl-2-hydroxy-l,3,4-triazol-5-ylthiolH-tetrazol-5-ylthio1-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-lH-tetrazol-5-ylthio10 1-(sulfomethyl)-lH-tetrazol-5-ylthio-, alkali metal salt -methyl-l,3,4-oxadiazol-2-ylthio1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-ylthio3-methyl-l,2,4-thiadiazol-5-ylthio- and 2-(protected aminomethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol5-ylthio-.

The reaction mixture was refluxed, with stirring, and the progress of the reaction was monitored by thinlayer chromatography (TLC). After 90 minutes at reflux, TLC showed about two-thirds cephalosporanic acid starting material and one-third of the desired product. After 3 hours of reflux, TLC showed about one-third cephalosporanic acid starting material and two-thirds product. After 6 hours, at which time TLC showed the reaction essentially complete, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and allowed to stand overnight. Solvent was removed on a rotary evaporator, leaving as a residue a foam which was dissolved in 10 ml. of ethanol. Dropwise addition of 1 ml. of dicyclohexylamine in 10 ml. of ethanol resulted in the precipitation of product as the dicyclohexylamine salt which, after 15 minutes of stirring, was separated by filtration.
