The lactam nucleus is numbered as follows ##STR7## and the products designated cis are the compounds of the formula ##STR8## The trans compounds have the formula ##STR9##
The novel process of the invention for the preparation of compounds of formula I comprises reacting a racemic or optically active compound of the formula ##STR10## wherein Ra is R.sub.1 and R.sub.1 has the above definition or Ra may be the protected functions of R.sub.1 and A is hydrogen or sulfo with a compound of the formula ##STR11## wherein R.sub.b is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and an amino protective group and R.sub.b ' is a hydroxyl protective group or R of the above significance or protected R reactive groups to obtain a racemic mixture or an optical isomer of a compound of the formula ##STR12## which if desired can be submitted to at least one of the following reactions in any desired order:

c) Salification by an acid of any amino.
d) Sulfonation of the products in which A is hydrogen.
e) Resolution of the molecule so as to obtain an optically active product.
In the compounds of formula II, R.sub.a is usually R.sub.1, but when R.sub.1 is --(CH.sub.2).sub.n --X, especially when X is --OH or --NH.sub.2, it is preferred to protect the said groups with removable groups. Examples of amine protective groups are alkyl such as tert.-butyl or tert.-amyl and acyl groups of aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic carboxylic acids and carbamoyl.
Examples of lower alkanoyl groups are formyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, isobutyryl, valeryl, isovaleryl, oxalyl, succinyl and pivaloyl, R.sub.b can also be lower alkoxy or cycloalkoxycarbonyl such as methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, propoxycarbonyl, 1-cyclopropylethoxycarbonyl, isopropyloxycarbonyl, butyloxycarbonyl, tert.-butyloxycarbonyl, pentyloxycarbonyl, hexyloxycarbonyl, benzoyl, toluolyl, naphthoyl, phthaloyl, mesyl, phenylacetyl and phenylpropionyl, or an aralkoxycarbonyl such as benzyloxycarbonyl.
The acyl groups may be substituted, for example, by chlorine, bromine, iodine or fluorine such as chloroacetyl, dichloroacetyl, trichloroacetyl, bromoacetyl or trifluoroacetyl. A lower aralkyl group such as benzyl, 4-methoxybenzyl or phenylethyl, trityl, 3,4-dimethoxybenzyl or benzhydryl may also be used. A haloalkyl such as trichloroethyl may also be used.
Other examples are chlorobenzoyl,p-nitrobenzoyl tert.-butylbenzoyl,phenoxyacetyl, caprylyl, n-decanoyl, acryloyl, or trichloroethoxycarbonyl. Also to be utilized are methylcarbamoyl, phenylcarbamoyl, naphthylcarbamoyl as well as the corresponding thiocarbamoyls. The above list is not limitative, since it is obvious that other amine protective groups, especially those known in the chemistry of the peptides, can equally be utilized.
The protective group for the hydroxyl radical can be an acyl group such as formyl, acetyl, chloroacetyl, bromoacetyl, dichloroacetyl, trichloroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, methoxyacetyl, phenoxyacetyl, benzoyl, benzoylformyl and p-nitrobenzoyl.

Naturally, the values of the substituents R.sub.b, when these do not represent a hydrogen atom, as well as the values of the protective groups which R.sub.b ' can possibly represent or include in particular when R.sub.b ' includes an amine,can also be taken from the lists mentioned above.
In a mode of the process of the invention, the compound of formula II is reacted with a functional derivative of a compound of formula III. This functional derivative can for example be a halide, a symmetric or mixed anhydride, an amide or an activated ester.
An example of a mixed anhydride may be that formed with isobutyl chloroformate and that formed with pivaloyl chloride and the mixed carboxylic-sulfonic anhydrides formed for example, with p-toluene sulfonyl chloride. An example of an activated ester is the ester formed with 2,4-dinitrophenol and that formed with hydroxybenzothiazole. As example of an acid halide, there can be cited the chloride or bromide. There can also be used the acid azide or the acid amide. The anhydride can be formed in situ by the action with a N,N'-disubstitutedcarbodiimide, such as N,N-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide.
The acylation reaction is preferably carried out in an organic solvent such as methylene chloride. Other solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, chloroform or dimethylformamide can be used.
When an acid halide is used, and in a general way when a hydrogen halide is liberated in the reaction, it is preferable to carry out the reaction in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, carbonates and bicarbonates of sodium or potassium, sodium acetate, triethylamine, pyridine, morpholine or N-methylmorpholine. The reaction temperature is generally less than or equal to the ambient temperature. When R.sub.b is hydrogen, it is preferred to use a carboxylic-sulfonic mixed anhydride.
Depending on the values of R.sub.b, R.sub.b ' and Ra, the products of formula IV may or may not fall within the scope of formula I. The products of formula IV fall within the scope of formula I when R.sub.b is hydrogen, when R.sub.b ' is not a protective group for hydroxyl or is not R including a protected function, and finally when R.sub.a is not R.sub.l in which a reactive function is protected and when A is not hydrogen.
In the other cases, the action on the product of formula IV of one or more hydrolysis or hydrogenolysis agents or of thiourea will eliminate R.sub.b when the latter is a protective radical of the amino, of eliminating R.sub.b ' when the latter is a protective group of the hydroxyl, and of eliminating the other protective groups which R.sub.a and R.sub.b ' can include.
The kind of reagents to be put in action in all these cases is well known to an expert in the subject. Examples of such reactions are given further on in the experimental part. There is given below a non-exhaustive list of the means which can be employed to eliminate the different groups.
The elimination of the group R.sub.b can be effected by acidic or basic hydrolysis or by utilizing hydrazine. It is preferred to use acid hydrolysis to eliminate optionally substituted alkoxy and cycloalkoxycarbonyl groups, such as tert-pentyloxycarbonyl or tert-.butyloxycarbonyl, optionally substituted aralkoxycarbonyls such as benzyloxycarbonyl, and trityl, benzhydryl, tert-.butyl or 4-methoxy-benzyl. The acid which is preferably used may be chosen from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, benzene sulfonic acid, or p-toluene sulfonic acid, formic acid or trifluoroacetic acid. However other mineral or organic acids can also be used.
It is preferred to use basic hydrolysis to eliminate acyl groups such as trifluoroacetyl such as a mineral base like sodium or potassium hydroxide but also useful are magnesia, baryta, or a carbonate or bicarbonate of an alkali metal such as the carbonates and bicarbonates of sodium or potassium or other bases. There can also be used sodium or potassium acetate. Hydrolysis using hydrazine is preferably used to eliminate groups such as phthaloyl.
When R.sub.b is trichloroethyl, it can also be eliminated by the zinc-acetic acid system. Benzhydryl and benzyloxycarbonyl groups are preferably removed with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. Chloroacetyl is eliminated by the action of thiourea in a neutral or acid medium by the reaction described by MASAKI J.A.C.S., 90, 4508, (1968). Other methods known in the literature for removing protective groups such as removal by oxidization particularly for benzyl are useful.
Among the preferred groups are formyl, acetyl, ethoxycarbonyl, mesyl, trifluoroacetyl, chloroacetyl and trityl, with trityl and chloroacetyl being particularly preferred. The preferred acid is trifluoroacetic acid or formic acid.
The elimination of the R.sub.b ' radical or the protective groups which R.sub.b ' and R.sub.a contain, when this is necessary, is carried out in similar conditions to those previously described for the elimination of R.sub.b.
Acid hydrolysis, among others can be used to remove optionally substituted alkyl or aralkyl radicals. It is preferred to use an acid chosen from the group formed by hydrochloric acid, formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid and p-toluene sulfonic acid.
Other values for the R.sub.b or R.sub.b ' or the protective groups which R.sub.b ' or R.sub.a contain are removed, when this is desired, by processes known to the expert. It is preferred to operate under moderate conditions, such as at ambient temperature or with slight heating. Naturally, when, for example, R.sub.b or R.sub.b ' or R.sub.a are or contain different groups which can be removed, several agents included in the previous lists can be made to act on the compounds of formula IV.
Salification of the products can be carried out by the usual methods. Salification can be effected by reacting a compound of formula I in the acid form or as a solvate such as the ethanol solvate or a hydrate of the acid with a mineral base such as sodium or potassium hydroxide or sodium or potassium carbonate or bicarbonate. There can also be utilized the salts of mineral acids such as tri-sodium phosphate as well as salts of organic acids. A list of such salts of organic acids can be found for example, in the French patent No. 2,476,087. It is preferred to use sodium acetate, sodium 2-ethyl hexanoate or sodium diethyl acetate. Salification can also be obtained by reaction with an organic base or of an amino acid.
The esterification, if required of the compounds of formula I wherein R is an acid function may also be carried out in standard conditions.
The sulfonation of the compounds of formula IV wherein A is hydrogen is carried out with sulfuric anhydride or a reactive derivative of the said anhydride.
It is preferred to use the complex of pyridine-sulfuric anhydride but also useful are other complexes of sulfuric anhydride with dioxane or trimethylamine. The reaction is carried out in usual solvents such as ethyl acetate, chloroform or dimethylformamide, and it can be effected at ambient temperature. When the complex pyridine-sulfuric anhydride is used, the products can be isolated in the form of pyridinium salts.
The resolution of the racemic molecules of formulae II or IV if desired can be carried out according to the usual methods. An optically active organic carboxylic acid or sulfonic acid such as tartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, camphosulfonic acid or glutamic acid can be used with the decomposition of the salt obtained being carried out with a mineral base such as sodium bicarbonate or an organic base such as a tertiary amine like triethylamine.
The invention is especially concerned with the process as described above wherein the compound of formula II wherein A is hydrogen is reacted with a compound of formula III wherein R.sub.b is a protective group for the amino, and the sulfonation is carried out with a compound of formula IV in which R.sub.b is a protective group for the amine.
The preferred protective group of R.sub.b is trityl. It is preferred to carried out the sulfonation with the complex pyridine sulfuric anhydride.
Also an object of the invention is a process for the preparation of the compounds of formula II by reacting a compound of the formula ##STR13## wherein R.sub.a has the above definition and R.sub.p is a protective group for an imino with a compound of the formula ##STR14## wherein one of R.sub.p ' and R.sub.p " is hydrogen and the other is a protective group for an amino, or R.sub.p ' and R.sub.p " together form a divalent protective group and B is hydroxyl or halogen to obtain a compound of the formula ##STR15## wherein R.sub.a, R.sub.p, R.sub.p ' and R.sub.p " have the above definitions and the said product may be subjected to the following reactions:
a) Removal of R.sub.p by hydrolysis, hydrogenolysis or action of thiourea;
b) Possible sulfonation of the amine in the 1-position;
c) Removal of R.sub.p ' and R.sub.p " by hydrolysis, hydrogenolysis or action of thiourea; and
d) Possible resolution of the molecule to obtain an optically active product.
The protective group of R.sub.p can be selected from the list of substituents given above for amines. However, it is preferred to use a benzyl or 2,4-dimethoxy-benzyl or an equivalent.
In addition, the protective group R.sub.p can contain an asymmetric carbon atom and also an object of the invention is in particular a process as previously defined, characterised in that at the start a compound of formula (V) wherein R.sub.p represents a protective group of the imino radical containing an asymmetric group is used and a compound of formula (VII) is isolated in the optically active form.
These optically active products of formula (VII) lead to optically active compounds of formula (I) according to the process previously described.
As protective group, there can be cited particularly the 1-phenyl ethyl group.
An example of the preparation of an optically active compound of formula (VII) is provided further on in the experimental part.
Also R.sub.p ' and R.sub.p " can be selected from the same list of protective radicals given above but it is preferred to use phthaloyl.
B can be halogen and the acid chloride is preferred. When B is halogen, the reaction of the compound of formula V with the compound of formula VI is carried out in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or of a metal such as zinc. When B is hydroxyl, the reaction is effected in the presence of a dehydratation agent such as an acid anhydride, preferably trifluoroacetic anhydride.
The action of the compounds of formula V with the compounds of formula VI gives cis products preferentially. Trans products are obtained by isomerization in a basic medium.
When it is required to sulfonate the compounds, the object of the first de-protection reaction is the selective deblocking of R.sub.p. Therefore, as indicated above, it is preferred to utilize benzyl or di-methoxybenzyl which is preferably deblocked by an oxidizing agent such as potassium peroxodisulfate. It is preferred to operate in a solvent such as a water-acetic acid mixture or acetonitrile.
The sulfonation of compounds wherein the secondary amine in the 1-position is free is carried out as indicated above. The possible second deblocking operation is to liberate the amine in the 3-position by removal of the R.sub.p ' and R.sub.p ". When, as indicated above, phthalimido is used, the removal is effected with hydrazine, preferably hydrazine hydrate in a solvent such as dimethylformamide.
Naturally, in particular in the case where the sulfonation of the products of formula IV is not carried out, R.sub.p, R.sub.p ' and R.sub.p " can be eliminated simultaneously. Resolution, as indicated above, is carried out in the usual manner.
Also an object of the invention is a process for the preparation of compounds of the formula ##STR16## wherein A has the above definition, n is a whole number between 1 and 4 and X" is X, X having the significance indicated above with the exception of halogen, or X" is X in which a reactive function is protected comprising reacting a compound of the formula ##STR17## wherein R.sub.q ' and R.sub.q " each are hydrogen or have the significance of R.sub.p ' and R.sub.p " indicated above, with a reactive derivative of cyano radical, of --OR.sub.1 ', --SR.sub.1 ", ##STR18## --SCN or --NCS to obtain a compound of the formula ##STR19## wherein X", A, R.sub.q ' and R.sub.q " have the values indicated above, which product is optionally submitted to any one or more of the following reactions:
a) Removal of R.sub.q ' and R.sub.q " when they are other than hydrogen by hydrolysis, hydrogenolysis or by action of thiourea;
b) Sulfonation of the products in which A is hydrogen;
c) Resolution of the molecule to obtain an optically active product.
The reaction of a compound of formula VIII with the reactive derivatives of the radicals which it is wished to substitute for the halogen atom is carried out under the usual conditions. For example, the exchange between a halogen and a mercaptan is preferably effected with an alkali metal salt of the mercaptan such as a sodium salt.
The exchange between the halogen atom and an alkali metal acetate such as sodium or potassium acetate enables a protected hydroxyl radical to be introduced which can be liberated and then, if desired, etherified. The action of an amine optionally protected by one of the radicals indicated above enables an optionally protected ##STR20## to be introduced.
An alkali metal azide, preferably sodium azide, can be reacted to introduce the azido radical. An alkali metal cyanide or thiocyanate can also be reacted to obtain the products in which X is the said radicals or an isothiocyanate. The subsequent operations of possible de-protection, of sulfonation and of resolution, also possible, are carried out in the manner indicated above.
