Definitions

• This invention is directed to a process for preparing intermediates that are useful to prepare certain antibacterial ⁇ /-formyl hydroxylamine compounds.
• Peptide deformylase is a metallopeptidase found in prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria. Protein synthesis in prokaryotic organisms begins with ⁇ /-formyl methionine (fMet). After initiation of protein synthesis, the formyl group is removed by the enzyme peptide deformylase (PDF); this activity is essential for maturation of proteins. It has been shown that PDF is required for bacterial growth (see Chang et al., J. Bacteriol., Vol. 171 , pp. 4071- 4072 (1989); Meinnel et al., J. Bacteriol., Vol. 176, No. 23, pp. 7387-7390 (1994); Mazel et al., EMBO J., Vol. 13, No. 4, pp. 914-923 (1994)). Since protein synthesis in eukaryotic organisms does not depend on fMet for initiation, agents that will inhibit PDF are attractive candidates for development of new anti-microbial and anti-bacterial drugs.

• Typical oxidizing agents include urea/hydrogen peroxide with phthalic anhydride; magnesium monoperoxyphthalate (MMPP); MCPBA, Oxone (available from Aldrich), and the like.
• MMPP magnesium monoperoxyphthalate
• MCPBA Oxone (available from Aldrich), and the like.
• the compounds are known or may be prepared analogously to methods known in the art or as disclosed in the examples hereinafter.
• CDMT chlorodimethoxy triazine
• EDCI 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3- ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride
• Mem methoxy ethoxy methyl ether
• NPEOC 4-nitrophenethyloxycarbonyl
• NPEOM 4-nitrophenethyloxy- methyloxycarbonyl
• THF tetrahydrofuran
• a flask was charged with 2.80 g (19.2 mmol) of A1, 80 mL of THF, 20 mL of water, and 4.73 g (38.4 mmol) of A2. The resulting solution was stirred at RT and the pH of the solution was adjusted to 4.2-4.5 with 2N HCI acid solution.
• the organic solvent was concentrated and diluted with 400 mL of ethyl acetate and washed with 100 mL of 1N HCI acid, 100 mL of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, 100 mL of brine and dried over MgSO 4 .
• the concentration of organic solvent under reduced pressure afforded 7.96 g of A5 (liquid, 90% yield).
• the lactam ring can also be opened by a base, such as lithium hydroxide. As depicted below, the opening ring product was obtained in 91.5% yield with high purity after work-up.
• any other ammonium salts of (2f? -2-(hydroxymethyl)hexanoic acid can be used after removing the amine component as described in Example 3.
