When X is pyridinium or carbamoyl substituted pyridinium, the compounds can be structurally represented as having the formula ##STR8## wherein Z is hydrogen or carbamoyl.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The various groups represented by the symbols have the meaning defined below and these definitions are retained throughout this specification.

The lower alkyl groups referred to throughout this specification include straight or branched chain hydrocarbons containing 1 to 4 carbons, e.g. methyl, ethyl, i-propyl, t-butyl, etc.

Cycloalkyl refers to groups having 3 to 7 carbons in the ring, i.e. cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and cycloheptyl. The term cycloalkenyl represent rings having 5 to 7 carbons with one double bond, i.e. cyclopentenyl, cyclohexenyl, etc. The term cycloalkadienyl represents a ring having 6 or 7 carbons with two double bonds located at various positions such as 1,4-cyclohexadienyl which is preferred.

The compounds of formula I can be prepared by several methods. For example, when X is hydrogen, ##STR9## or heterothio, an .alpha.-amino compound of the formula ##STR10## preferably in the form of its trifluoroacetic acid salt can be reacted with an acid chloride of the formula ##STR11## to yield the corresponding free acid compounds of formula I.

The .alpha.-amino intermediate of formula II can be prepared by various means such as by acylating a 7-amino cephalosporin of the formula ##STR12## wherein R.sub.10 is a readily removable ester group such as diphenylmethyl, benzyl, substituted benzyl, t-butyl, etc.; R.sub.1 is hydrogen or methoxy, and X is hydrogen, ##STR13## or heterothio, with a substituted .alpha.-amino acid of the formula ##STR14## wherein Y is a protecting group such as ##STR15## The .alpha.-amino protecting group and the ester group R.sub.10 are then removed by treating the resulting cephalosporin with trifluoroacetic acid and anisole. The .alpha.-amino compounds of formula II are taught in various U.S. Patents as note for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,641,021; 3,796,801; 3,813,388; 3,978,051, 4,061,852; 4,000,134; 3,989,697; 3,989,693; 4,088,815; 4,088,816; etc. and Belgian Pat. No. 833,640.

The piperazindione acid chloride of formula III is prepared by reacting a hydrazine of the formula ##STR16## with hydrogen in the presence of Lindar catalyst to yield the piperazindione of the formula ##STR17## The compound of formula VII can be treated with phosgene to yield the acid chloride of formula III directly. Alternatively, the compound of formula VII is treated with a silylating agent such as trimethylsilyl chloride or N-methyl-O-trimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide to yield a mixture of ##STR18## This mixture is then treated with phosgene to yield the acid chloride of formula III.

The intermediate of formula VI can be prepared according to the following reaction sequence. An aldehyde or ketone of the formula ##STR19## is reacted with a hydrazine of the formula ##STR20## to yield the compound of the formula ##STR21## The intermediate of formula XII is treated with propylene oxide and oxalic acid ethyl ester chloride, i.e. ##STR22## to yield the compound of the formula ##STR23## The intermediate of formula XIII is then treated with methylsulfonyl chloride to yield the compound of the formula ##STR24## which is then treated in the presence of a crown ether with a lithium halide or sodium halide, preferably lithium bromide, to yield the compound of the formula ##STR25## Treatment of the compound of formula XV with an azide such as lithium azide, sodium azide, or tetramethylguanidinium azide yields the intermediate of formula VI.

The compounds of formula I wherein X is hydrogen, ##STR26## or heterothio can also be prepared by acylating a 7-amino cephalosporanic acid ester of formula IV with a compound of the formula ##STR27## to yield the compounds of formula I in their ester form, i.e. R is t-butyl, benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, diphenylmethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, or trimethylsilyl. The ester protecting group can then be removed according to methods known in the art to yield the corresponding free acid compounds.

This acylation reaction can be performed directly with the acid of formula XVI by use of a coupling agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Alternatively the acid compound of formula XVI can be converted to an activated derivative such as the acid chloride or bromide, an anhydride or mixed anhydride, or an activated ester formed according to methods known in the art.

The acid of formula XVI is prepared by reacting an .alpha.-amino acid of the formula ##STR28## wherein E is hydrogen or a protecting group such as diphenylmethyl or p-nitrobenzyl, with the acid chloride of formula III. The protecting group can then be removed to yield the acid of formula XVI.

Also, when E is p-nitrobenzyl the resulting ester of formula XVI can be employed to directly acylate a desmethoxy 7-aminocephalosporanic acid ester of formula IV (i.e. R.sub.1 is hydrogen) and yield the corresponding desmethoxy compound of formula I.

The compounds of formula Ia can be prepared by reacting a compound of formula I wherein R is hydrogen and X is ##STR29## with pyridine or carbamoyl substituted pyridine in a polar solvent such as water and in the presence of a catalyst such as an alkali metal thiocyanate according to the procedures taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,792,047 and German Offenlegungsschrift No. 2,234,280.

Similarly, the compounds of formula I wherein X is N.sub.3 are prepared by reacting a compound of formula I wherein X is ##STR30## with sodium azide as taught in various U.S. Patents including U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,360,515; 3,658,802; 4,006,230; etc.

Also, the compounds of formula I wherein X is heterothio can be prepared by reacting the compound of formula I wherein R is hydrogen and X is ##STR31## with mercaptan of the formula

hetero-S-H (XVIII) or an alkali metal (preferably sodium) mercaptan salt of the formula hetero-S-alkali metal. (XIX) Such methods of introducing a heterothio group in the 3-position are disclosed in various U.S. Patents including U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,955,213; 4,066,762; etc.

The compounds of formula I wherein R and R.sub.9 are sodium or potassium are prepared by reacting the corresponding free acid of formula I (R and R.sub.9 are hydrogen) with the appropriate salt forming reactant.

The compounds of formula I wherein R is ##STR32## can be obtained by treating the corresponding free acid of formula I with one or two moles of a compound of the formula ##STR33## wherein halo is chlorine or bromine in an inert solvent such as dimethylformamide at or below ambient temperature.

Similarly, the compounds of formula I wherein R is ##STR34## are prepared by treating the free acid compound of formula I with a compound of the formula ##STR35## as taught by Ferres et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 3,860,579.

The compounds of formula I wherein R.sub.2 is other than hydrogen are optically active due to the presence of an asymmetric carbon atom represented as C* in the preceding formulas. By selection of the appropriate starting material it is possible to obtain the compounds of formula I as a mixture of optically active isomers or isolated as a single isomer. The various optical isomers as well as their mixtures are within the scope of the invention.

Also, the compounds of formula I and the various intermediates wherein R.sub.2 is 2-amino-4-thiazolyl are tautomeric and can be structurally represented as ##STR36## Though the 2-amino-4-thiazolyl form is being used throughout this application, both forms are within the scope of this invention.

Preferred compounds of this invention are those of formula I wherein R is hydrogen, sodium or potassium; R.sub.1 is hydrogen; R.sub.2 is phenyl, 2-thienyl, 3-thienyl, 2-furyl, 3-furyl, or 2-amino-4-thiazolyl; R.sub.3 is methyl, phenyl, 2-thienyl, or 2-furyl; R.sub.4 is hydrogen or methyl; X is hydrogen, ##STR37## or --(CH.sub.2).sub.2 --N(CH.sub.3).sub.2 ; and R.sub.9 is hydrogen, sodium or potassium.

Most preferred are the above compounds wherein R.sub.3 is phenyl and R.sub.4 is hydrogen.

The compounds of formula I wherein R is hydrogen, sodium, potassium, --CH.sub.2 --O--lower alkyl, ##STR38## are useful antibacterial agents possessing activity against various gram-positive and gram-negative organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella aerogenes, Proteus rettgeri, Proteus vulgarius, Proteus mirabilis, Serratia marcescens, Salmonella typhosa,Shigella sonnei, Citrobacter freundii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc. They may be used as antibacterial agents to combat infections due to organisms such as those named above, and in general may be utilized in a manner similar to cephalotin and other cephalosporins. For example, a compound of formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof may be used in various animal species in an amount of about 1 to 100 mg./kg., daily in oral or parenteral form, in single or two to four divided doses to treat infections of bacterial origin, e.g., 5.0 mg./kg. in mice.

Up to about 600 mg. of an acid compound of formula I or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof may be incorporated in an oral dosage form such as tablets, capsules or elixirs or in an injectable form in a sterile aqueous vehicle prepared according to conventional pharmaceutical practice.

Illustrative process details are provided in the examples for the various reactions. All temperatures are on the centigrade scale.
