Method for producing 7-aminocephem compounds

The present invention relates to an improvement in the method for producing 7-aminocephem compounds of the formula: ##STR3## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom or a methoxy group and R.sup.2 is a residue of a thiol compound, or salts or esters thereof, which comprises reacting a compound of the formula: ##STR4## wherein R.sup.1 is as defined above and R is a carboxylic acid acyl group, or a salt or ester thereof with a thiol compound or a salt thereof.
The compounds of the formula [I] are those which are easily produced on an industrial scale from fermentation products such as cephalosporin C or deacetylcephalosporin C, and the compounds of the formula [II] are important intermediates for producing antimicrobial substances. Therefore, the process, which enables [II] to be produced in improved yields by way of industrially advantageous procedures with the use of [I] as starting materials, is required, and there have been so far known 1 a procedure comprising reaction of [I] with a thiol compound in water or a mixed solvent of water and organic solvent(s) under acid to weakly basic conditions (e.g. Japanese Published Examined Patent Application Nos. 17936/1964 and 13023/1971, U.S. Pat. No. 3,641,021, B.P. No. 1283811 and No. 1321412, and OLS No. 2262477, etc.), 2 a procedure comprising heating [I] and a thiol compound in organic solvent(s) (e.g. Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application No. 43043/1980, etc.), 3 a procedure comprising reaction of [I] with a thiol compound in organic solvent(s) in the presence of an acid or acid adduct (e.g. OLS No. 2804896, B.P. No. 1565941, No. 2027429 and No. 2048257, Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application Nos. 20724/1980, 49383/1980 and 153790/1980, etc.), and the like. However, the procedures 1 and 2 deteriorate the product quality and give a poor yield of the objective compound due to occurrence of the .beta.-lactam hydrolysis and the like under the reaction conditions, and the procedure 3 encounters the problems in that there are liable to occur undesirable side reactions such as conversion to lactone or opening of the .beta.-lactam ring of [I] and/or [II], that utilization of a Lewis acid or an adduct thereof as acid limits the type of reaction equipment and brings about difficulties in the post-treatment step, that after the conclusion of the reaction, the used acid is required to be neutralized for isolation with an alkali which, in contact with the objective compound, tends to cause decomposition and coloration, and that the yield of the objective compound [II] becomes extremely worse, depending upon the types of the starting materials [I] and acids, and others. Occurrence of the conversion to lactone, decomposition of the .beta.-lactam and coloration causes impurities derived therefrom to get mixed in the objective compound [II], which contributes to much time and labor required in the removal of such impurities as well as lowered yields, when such objective compound [II] is led to antimicrobial substances. In the procedure 3 , furthermore, there arises the need to lower the water and/or moisture content of the starting materials [I] in order to avoid contamination with water and/or moisture in the reaction system, and this presents disadvantages to industrialization of the procedure in that the drying step is required to be added and that dried powder is easy to be scattered and therefore deteriorates the working environment, as is reflected for example in the property of 7-aminocephalosporanic acid to cause contact dermatitis to man, etc. (Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd edition, 1978, volume 2, p. 907 to 908). On the other hand, the compounds [I], as normally produced by the precipitation at isoelectric point from water or mixed solvents of water and organic solvents, contain water and/or moisture, and wet materials containing water and/or moisture are harder to be scattered than dried powder. In addition, it has been confirmed that the procedure 3 , in cases in which 3-substituents of the starting materials [I] are those susceptible to enolization, brings about side reactions such as the conversion to lactone, resulting in lowered yields and enhanced contamination of the objective compounds with the lactone form.
The present inventors, after having conducted extensive investigation with a specific view to solving these problems, found that the reaction of a compound [I] or a salt or ester thereof with a thiol or a salt thereof in an organic solvent in the presence of a dihalophosphoric acid ##STR5## wherein X is chlorine, bromine or fluorine], unexpectedly, affords the objective compound [II] in an improved yield and that the above-mentioned problems can be solved, and, on the basis of such findings, have completed the present invention.
Thus, the present invention relates to an improvement in per se known reaction of a compound [I] or a salt or ester thereof with a thiol compound or a salt thereof, characterized in that said reaction is conducted in an organic solvent in the presence of a dihalophosphoric acid.
In the compounds having the formula [I] which are used as the starting materials in the present invention, the carboxylic acid acyl groups represented by R, which are operable, include alkanoyl groups (preferably C.sub.1-4) such as acetyl, propionyl and butyryl; alkenoyl groups (preferably C.sub.2-6) such as acryl; aroyl groups (preferably C.sub.7-9) such as benzoyl; aralkanoyl groups (preferably C.sub.8-12) such as phenylacetyl; carbamoyl group, etc., and these acyl groups may be further substituted, whereby as such substituent, for example, use is made of halogen atoms, nitro group, oxo group, alkyl group, alkoxy group, alkylthio group, acyl group, acyloxy group, acylamino group, hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, carbonyl group, sulfamoyl group, carbamoyl group, carboalkoxycarbamoyl group, aroylcarbamoyl group, carboalkoxysulfamoyl group, sulfonyl group, and the like. Among others, frequent use is made of, for example, C.sub.1-4 alkanoyl which may be substituted with oxo (e.g. acetyl, 3-oxobutyryl groups), etc.
As the 4-esterified derivatives of the compounds of the formulas [I] and [II] in the present invention, use is made of esters in the carboxyl group at the 4-position such as alkyl esters, cycloalkyl esters and cycloalkenyl esters, which do not affect adversely the reaction, having or not having substituents, e.g. methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, t-butyl, methoxymethyl, ethoxymethyl, isopropoxymethyl, .alpha.-methoxyethyl, .alpha.-ethoxyethyl, phenoxymethyl, dimethylaminoethyl, diethylaminoethyl, phenacyl, acetylmethyl, p-bromophenacyl, acetoxymethyl, 1-(ethoxycarbonyloxy)ethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, .alpha.-acetoxybutyl, benzoyloxymethyl, 1,1-diacetylalkylmethanesulfonylethyl, toluenesulfonylethyl, trichloroethyl, (1,3-dioxol-5-methyl-2-one-4-yl)methyl, cyanomethyl and phthalimidomethyl. The compounds of the formulas [I] and [II] or their 4-esterified derivatives include salts in the acidic groups in the molecule or salts in the basic groups. As the salts in the acidic groups, use is made of salts with alkali metals such as sodium and potassium; salts with alkaline earth metals such as calcium and magnesium and salts with nitrogen-containing organic bases such as triethylamine, N-methylpiperidine, dicyclohexylamine and tributylamine, while as the salts in the basic groups, use is made of salts with mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid and salts with organic acids such as fatty acids, e.g. formic acid and trifluoroacetic acid, and sulfonic acids, e.g. methanesulfonic acid and toluenesulfonic acid. As the group R.sup.1, use is made of hydrogen and methoxy group.
Further, R.sup.2 in the formula [II] represents a residue of a thiol compound (R.sup.2 SH), which is specifically exemplifiled by alkyl groups (preferably C.sub.1-6) such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl; cycloalkyl groups (preferably C.sub.3-8) such as cyclohexyl and cyclobutyl; aryl groups (preferably C.sub.6-12) such as phenyl and naphthyl; aralkyl groups (preferably C.sub.7-12) such as benzyl; acyl groups (preferably C.sub.2-6) such as acetyl; alkoxythiocarbonyl groups (preferably C.sub.2-8) such as methoxythiocarbonyl; and heterocyclic groups including, for example, 5 to 8-membered heterocyclic rings having one to a few number of hetero-atoms such as nitrogen (inclusive of N-oxide), oxygen and sulfur, as well as fused rings corresponding thereto, such as oxazolyl, thiazolyl, isoxazolyl, isothiazolyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, pyridyl, N-oxypyridyl, pyrazyl, pyrimidinyl, pyridazinyl, N-oxypyridazinyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, quinazolyl, indolyl, indazolyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, triazolyl, thiatriazolyl, tetrazolyl, triazinyl, benzimidazolyl, benzoxazolyl, benzothiazolyl, triazolopyridyl and pyridine-1-oxido-2-yl, pyrido-[2,3-d]pyrimidyl, benzopyranyl, 1,8-, 1,5-, 1,6-, 1,7-, 2,7- or 2,6-naphthyridyl, thieno[2,3-b]-pyridyl and the like. These may be further substituted by halogen atoms (e.g. Cl, Br, I, etc.), alkyl, aryl, hydroxyl, alkoxy (e.g. methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, etc.), alkylthio, nitro, cyano, oxy, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, acylamino, acyl, acyloxy, carboxyl, sulfo, carbamoyl, aminoalkyl, N-alkylaminoalkyl, N,N-dialkylaminoalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, carboxyalkyl, sulfoalkyl, sulfamoylalkyl, sulfamoyl and carbamoylalkyl groups, etc. (wherein alkyl, aryl and acyl groups include, for example, those exemplified above), whereby hydroxyl, amino and carboxyl groups, etc. out of these substituents may be protected by protective groups normally employed. As the protective group for amino which may optionally be protected, any of those used for this purpose in the field of .beta.-lactam or peptide synthesis may conveniently be employed. Examples of such amino-protecting group include aromatic acyl groups such as phthaloyl, p-nitrobenzoyl, p-tert-butylbenzoyl, p-tert-butylbenzenesulfonyl, benzenesulfonyl, toluenesulfonyl, etc., aliphatic acyl groups such as formyl, acetyl, propionyl, monochloroacetyl, dichloroacetyl, trichloroacetyl, methanesulfonyl, ethanesulfonyl, trifluoroacetyl, maleyl, succinyl, etc., and esterified carboxyl groups such as methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, isopropoxycarbonyl, 2-cyanoethoxycarbonyl, trichloroethoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, diphenylmethyloxycarbonyl, methoxymethyloxycarbonyl, acetylmethyloxycarbonyl, isobornyloxycarbonyl, phenyloxycarbonyl, etc., as well as nonacyl amino-protecting groups such as trityl, 2-nitrophenylthio, benzylidene, 4-nitrobenzylidine, trialkylsilyl, benzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, etc. The choice of amino-protecting group is not critical in the present invention. The protective group for carboxyl includes any group which can be conventionally used as a carboxy-protecting group in the fields of .beta.-lactam and other organic chemistry, such as ester residues (e.g., methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, tert-butyl, tert-amyl, benzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, p-methoxybenzyl, benzhydryl, phenacyl, phenyl, p-nitrophenyl, methoxymethyl, ethoxymethyl, benzyloxymethyl, acetoxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, .beta.-methylsulfonylethyl, methylthiomethyl, trityl, .beta.,.beta.,.beta.-trichloroethyl, .beta.-iodoethyl, trimethylsilyl, dimethylsilyl, acetylmethyl, p-nitrobenzoylmethyl, p-mesylbenzoylmethyl, phthalimidomethyl, propionyloxymethyl, 1,1-dimethylpropyl, 3-methyl-3-butenyl, succinimidomethyl, 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl, mesylmethyl, benzenesulfonylmethyl, phenylthiomethyl, dimethylaminoethyl, pyridine-1-oxido-2-methyl, methylsulfinylmethyl, bis(p-methoxyphenyl)methyl, 2-cyano-1,1-dimethylethyl, etc.), silyl, and the like. The protective group for hydroxyl includes any group which can be conventionally used as a hydroxy-protecting group in the fields of .beta.-lactam and other organic chemistry, such as ether residues, e.g. tert-butyl, benzyl, p-nitrobenzyl, trityl, methylthiomethyl, .beta.-methoxyethoxymethyl, etc.; silylether residues, e.g., trimethylsilyl, tertbutyldimethylsilyl, etc.; acetal residues, e.g., 2-tetrahydropyranyl, 4-methoxy-4-tetrahydropyranyl, etc. and the like. The choice of the above-mentioned hydroxy-protecting group is not critical in the present invention, as is the case with the amino- and carboxy-protecting groups.
The heterocyclic group for R.sup.2 is preferably a group of the formula ##STR6## the formula ##STR7## the formula ##STR8## the formula ##STR9## or the formula ##STR10## where R.sup.3 is hydrogen, a lower alkyl group of 1 to 3 carbon atoms (e.g. methyl), a hydroxy-substituted lower alkyl group (e.g. 2-hydroxyethyl), a carboxyalkyl group (e.g. carboxymethyl), or a di-lower alkyl-substituted aminoalkyl group (e.g. 2-dimethylaminoethyl); R.sup.4 is a lower alkyl group (e.g. methyl) or a hydroxy-substituted lower alkyl group (e.g. hydroxymethyl). Especially, when R.sup.2 is 1-(di-loweralkyl-substituted)aminoalkyl-1H-tetrazolyl, a desirable result is obtained.
Also, the thiols used in the present invention can take the form of either basic or acidic salt, depending upon the kind of R.sup.2, and any of such basic and acidic salts are included in the starting material of the present invention. As such salts, use is made of the salts in the basic and acidic groups as mentioned with reference to the aforementioned formulas [I] and [II].
In the process of the present invention, the 7-aminocephem compounds [II] or their salts or esters are obtained by reacting the compound [I] or its salt or ester with a thiol compound or its salt in an organic solvent in the presence of a dihalophosphoric acid.
The compound [I] or its salt or ester, a thiol compound or its salt, a dihalophosphoric acid and an organic solvent may be mixed in any order, but normally, the process is carried out by mixing the compound [I] or its salt or ester with a thiol compound or its salt in an organic solvent and then adding a dihalophosphoric acid, by mixing a thiol compound or its salt with an organic solvent and then adding a dihalophosphoric acid and next the compound [I] or its salt or ester, or by mixing a dihalophosphoric acid with an organic solvent and then adding a thiol compound or its salt and next the compound [I] or its salt or ester. In any of the above mixing procedures, it is advantageous to carry out the mixing step of a dihalophosphoric acid under cooling (for example, at -40.degree. to 30.degree. C.).
As the solvent which is useful in the reaction, use may be made of any organic solvents which do not affect adversely the reaction. Such solvents include preferably nitriles such as acetonitrile, propionitrile and malonodinitrile; nitroalkanes such as nitromethane, nitroethane, and nitropropane, aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, nitrobenzene and fluorobenzene; esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate and ethylene carbonate; halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane and 1,1,1-trichloroethane; organic carboxylic acids such as acetic acid and propionic acid; ethers such as diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran and ethylene glycol dimethyl ether; sulfolanes such as sulfolane, and the like, and these solvents can be used in mixtures of more than two kinds. Among others, frequent use is made of, for example, nitriles (e.g. acetonitrile), nitroalkanes (e.g. nitromethane), esters (e.g. ethyl acetate), halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. methylene chloride), etc. The amount of such solvents to be used is normally 0.1 to 10.0 l, preferably 0.5 to 7.0 l per 1 mole of the starting material [I].
The amount of a thiol compound or its salt to be used in the reaction may be equimolar against the compound [I] or its salt or ester, but in some instances, is desirably useful in the range of 1.0-3.0 moles per 1 mole of the latter. The optimal amount of a dihalophosphoric acid to be used varies depending upon types of the starting material of the compound [I] and thiol compounds, kind of solvents to be used, etc., and normally is 4 to 24 moles per 1 mole of the compound of the formula [I]. Specifically, it is advantageous to use, against 1 mole of the compound [I] (R.sup.1 .dbd.H, R.dbd.COCH.sub.3 or COCH.sub.2 COCH.sub.3), 1.0 to 1.5 moles of a thiol compound ##STR11## 8.0 to 12.0, preferably 9.0-10.0 moles (R.dbd.COCH.sub.3) or 10.0 to 14.0, preferably 11.0-12.0 moles (R.dbd.COCH.sub.2 COCH.sub.3) of a dihalophosphoric acid and 0.5 to 5.0 l of acetonitrile as a solvent, and in the case of ##STR12## being utilized as a thiol compound, it is preferred to employ 1.0 to 2.0 moles of the thiol compound, 7.0 to 14.0, preferably 8.0-12.0 moles (R.dbd.COCH.sub.3) or 9.0 to 16.0 preferably 11.0-15.0 moles (R.dbd.COCH.sub.2 COCH.sub.3), of a dihalophosphoric acid and 0.5 to 5.0 l of acetonitrile as a solvent. The reaction temperature is desirably not higher than room temperature at the stage of adding a dihalophosphoric acid, and it is normally added at -40.degree. to 10.degree. C. When after adding it the reaction is carried out at 0.degree. to 70.degree. C., there may be produced good results. The reaction time varies depending upon the types and amounts of the starting compound [I], thiol compounds, solvents, etc. to be used as well as the reaction temperature, but is several minutes to several ten hours. The reaction, in which the above mentioned organic solvents are used, can also be carried out, if desired, by adding a dihalophosphoric acid and then distilling off the organic solvent partly or wholly. In addition, it is also possible to obtain the objective 7-aminocephem compounds [II] or their 4-esterified derivatives without the use of any organic solvent by reacting the compound [I] or its 4-esterified derivative with a solution obtained by mixing a thiol compound with a dihalophosphoric acid. When no solvent is used, there result industrial advantages such as reduction of the size of a reaction vessel. As the dihalophosphoric acid, further, use is made of dihalophosphoric acids produced by the procedures, such as the reaction of phosphorus oxyhalide with water (J. Goubeau et al., Z. Physik. Chem., vol. 14, p. 49, 1958);
POX.sub.3 +H.sub.2 O.fwdarw.X.sub.2 P(O)OH
the reaction of diphosphoryl tetrahalide with water (H. Grunze et al., Ang. Chem., vol. 70, p. 73, 1958);
X.sub.2 P(O)OP(O)X.sub.2 +H.sub.2 O.fwdarw.2X.sub.2 P(O)OH
the reaction of diphosphoryl tetrahalide (pyrophosphoryl tetrahalide) with alcohols (H. Grunze, Chem. Ber., vol. 92, p. 850, 1959);
X.sub.2 P(O)OP(O)X.sub.2 +R.sup.3 OH.fwdarw.X.sub.2 P(O)OH+R.sup.3 OP(O)X.sub.2
(wherein X is the above mentioned halogen atom; R.sup.3 is a residue of an alcohol), the reaction of phosphoric anhydride, water and phosphorus oxyhalide (R. V. Wazer et. al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., vol. 81, p. 6360, 1959);
P.sub.4 O.sub.10 +6H.sub.2 O+8POX.sub.3 .fwdarw.12X.sub.2 P(O)OH
the reaction of phosphoric anhydride, phosphorus pentahalide and phosphoric acid (the above-mentioned literature by R. V. Wazer, etc.);
P.sub.4 O.sub.10 +6PX.sub.5 +5H.sub.3 PO.sub.4 .fwdarw.15X.sub.2 P(O)OH
(wherein X is the above-mentioned halogen atom), or the process for producing difluorophosphoric acid, which comprises reacting phosphoric anhydride with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, followed by the fractional distillation under reduced pressure (L. C. Mosier et.al., Ind. Eng. Chem., vol. 43, p. 246, 1951), or procedures similar thereto. Among others, it is advantageous to use dichlorophosphoric acid. Though the dihalophosphoric acid may be first produced by these procedures and then used in the process of the present invention, the process may also be carried out, for example, by mixing the compound [I] or its 4-esterified derivative with a thiol compound and water in an organic solvent, followed by the addition of diphosphoryl tetrahalide, or by mixing the compound [I] or its 4-esterified derivative with an organic solvent, and adding a starting material for dihalophosphoric acid, followed by the addition of a thiol compound. Furthermore, the compound [I] or its 4-esterified derivative can be mixed with a starting material for dihalophosphoric acid, followed by mixing the resultant mixture with a thiol compound and an organic solvent. Water to be used in the production of a dihalophosphoric acid may be the water and/or moisture contained in the compound of the formula [I] or the water and/or moisture in the wet material of [I], or may be added on the occasion of the reaction, whereby the water and/or moisture contained in the starting material [I] or the total sum of such water and/or moisture and added water may be in the range of 1 to 20 moles per 1 mole of the compound of the formula [I] to be used in the reaction, preferably 2 to 8 moles per 1 mole of the compound [I]. For example, the amount of diphosphoryl tetrachloride to be used in the reaction is nearly equimolar with the total amount of water to be used in the reaction, preferably 0.8 to 1.2 moles per 1 mole of the latter. The used amount of diphosphoryl tetrachloride is set by the amount of water to be used in the reaction. The optimal amount of diphosphoryl tetrachloride to be used varies depending upon types of the starting compound [I] and thiol compounds, kind of solvents to be used, etc., and is normally 2 to 12 moles per 1 mole of the compound of the formula [I]. Specifically, it is advantageous to use, against 1 mole of the compound [I] (R.sup.1 .dbd.H, R.dbd.COCH.sub.3 or COCH.sub.2 COCH.sub.3), 1.0 to 1.5 moles of a thiol compound ##STR13## 4.0 to 6.0, preferably 4.5-5.0 moles (R.dbd.COCH.sub.3), or 5.0 to 7.0, preferably 5.5-6.0 moles (R.dbd.COCH.sub.2 COCH.sub.3), each of water and diphosphoryl tetrachloride, and 0.5 to 5.0 l of acetonitrile as a solvent, and in the case of ##STR14## being used as a thiol compound, it is preferred to employ 1.0 to 2.0 moles of the thiol compound, 3.5 to 7.0, preferably 4.0-6.0 moles (R.dbd.COCH.sub.3), or 4.5 to 8.0, preferably 5.5-7.5 moles (R.dbd.COCH.sub.2 COCH.sub.3), each of water and diphosphoryl tetrachloride, and 0.5 to 5.0 l of acetonitrile as a solvent.
After the conclusion of the reaction, the objective compound [II] can also be obtained in the forms of crystals or powder easy to be filtered as the hydrogen halide salt by the salting out procedure, which, for example, comprises adding to the reaction solution hydrogen halide (e.g. HCl, HBr, etc.) or a solution of hydrogen halide in an organic solvent (e.g. the above-mentioned organic solvents to be used in the present reaction, etc.) and an organic solvent (e.g. the above-mentioned organic solvents to be used in the present reaction, especially, ether, acetonitrile, etc.), or comprises adding to the reaction solution alcohols (e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, etc.) and then adding an organic solvent in which hydrogen halide salts of the compound [II] are sparingly soluble (e.g. the above-mentioned organic solvents to be used in the present reaction, especially, acetonitrile, methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, ether, tetrahydrofuran, etc.) and a small amount of water, if desired, and the like. The process of the present invention, which permits such isolation procedures to be employed, is greatly advantageous in that it can avoid decomposition, coloration, etc. of the objective compound [II] which are encountered by the conventional processes in neutralizing the reaction solution to the isoelectric point with an alkali during isolation of the objective compound [II], that it can easily isolate even an objective compound [II] which, with its strong water-solubility and properties hindering the precipitation at isoelectric point, is difficult to be isolated by conventional procedures, and that it affords the objective compound [II] not containing the water and/or moisture in the form of hydrogen halide salts without complex drying steps required, when the objective compound [II] is necessarily subjected to an acylation reaction under anhydrous conditions in the subsequent step. The compound [II] obtained by the above proceudre, as such or after being subjected to further purification, can be used as starting materials for the production of antimicrobial substances. For example, there can be obtained 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-acetamido]-3-[1-(2-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl)-1H-tetrazol-5-yl]thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid and 7-[2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(syn)-methoxyaminoacetamido]-3-(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)thiomethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid by the reaction of [II] with (2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-acetic acid or its reactive derivative and the reaction of [II] with 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-(syn)-methoxyiminoacetic acid or its reactive derivative, respectively.
