2. Description of the Prior Art

According to literature (Drugs of the Future 1992, 17(2), pp 559-563), it is reported that the (-) piperazine benzoxazine derivatives have a potent antibacterial activity for a wide range of bacteria.

Preparation methods for the antibacterially active compound of the formula I, one of (-)piperazine benzoxazine derivatives, are disclosed in many patents, for example, Japanese Patent Nos. 87215591 and 87198685 and European Patent No. 225552. ##STR2## wherein R, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each is a hydrogen or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group.

These conventional methods, however, are disadvantageous in many aspects. For example, the reaction procedure employed in the conventional methods is carried out in 8 tedious steps, and a production yield is low. Further, the conventional methods use an isomer separation technique, which is unsuitable for industrial mass production.

As shown in the reaction scheme, the method of the present invention comprises two steps.

In the first step, (+) 2-aminomethylene-3-oxo-3-phenylpropionate derivative of formula II along with a base is stirred at a temperature ranging from 0.degree. to 150.degree. C. for 1 to 10 hours in an organic polar solvent and then, after addition of water, further stirred at a temperature ranging from 25.degree. to 150 .degree. C. for 1 to 10 hours, so as to give a benzoxazine derivative of formula III, an intermediate.

A base suitable to react with the novel. Compound of formula II may be selected from a group consisting of metal hydroxides, metal hydrides and metal carbonates. Preferred metal hydroxides include calcium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and lithium hydroxide. Preferred metal hydrides include calcium hydride, sodium hydride, potassium hydride and lithium hydride. Preferred metal carbonates include potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, lithium carbonate and barium carbonate.

The equivalent ratio of the compound of formula II to the base is preferably in a range of from 3 to 6.

In case of employing metal hydroxide or metal carbonate as the base, a mixture of an organic polar solvent and water (in a volume ratio of 2:1 to 3:1) may be used for the fist reaction step. However, it is preferred that the reaction of the compound of formula II with the base is initially carried out in the organic polar solvent and then, water is added.

The organic solvent suitable to carrying out the reaction of the novel compound of formula II with the base is selected from a group consisting of acetonitrile, dimethyl acetamide, sulfolane, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane and pyridine.

In the compound of formula II used as a starting material for the synthesis of the compound of formula I, the compounds II wherein X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 each is a fluoro, a chloro or a nitro group, and X is a fluoro or chloro are most preferable.

In the second step of the method according to the present invention, the benzoxazine derivative of formula III is reacted with the piperazine derivative of the formula IV by stirring both derivatives in an organic polar solvent at a reaction temperature of about 50.degree. to about 150 .degree. C. for 2 to 24 hours, to give the (-) piperazine benzoxazine derivative of formula I. It is preferred that the equivalent ratio of the benzoxazine derivative of formula III to the piperazine derivative of formula IV is in a range of from 2 to 5 in this second step.

Organic polar solvent suitable to perform the second reaction step is selected from a group consisting of pyridine, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetonitrile, dimethyl formamide, N-methylpyrrolidone and sulforane.

In the case that the piperazine derivative of formula IV wherein Z is a trimethyl silane group is used in the second step, tetraalkyl ammonium fluoride or a mixture of tetraalkyl ammonium halide and metal fluoride may be added so as to remove the trimethyl silane group from the piperazine derivative.

Where tetraalkyl ammonium fluoride or the mixture of tetraalkyl ammonium halide and metal fluoride is added, the equivalent ratio of the benzoxazine derivative of formula III to the piperazine derivative of formula IV is preferably in a range of 1 to 3. The equivalent ratio of the benzoxazine of formula III to the tetraalkyl ammonium fluoride is preferably in a range of 1 to 1.2. It is preferred that the tetraalkyl halide is mixed with the metal fluoride in an equivalent ratio of about 1:2.

Tetraalkyl ammonium fluoride useful to the present invention include tetramethylammonium fluoride, tetraethyl ammonium fluoride and tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride.

With regard to tetraalkyl ammonium halide, tetramethyl ammonium chloride, tetraethyl ammonium chloride, tetrabutyl ammonium chloride, tetramethyl ammonium bromide, tetrapropyl ammonium bromide, tetrabutyl ammonium bromide, tetrapentyl ammonium bromide, tetramethyl ammonium iodide, tetraethyl ammonium iodide, tetrapropyl ammonium iodide and tetrabutyl ammonium iodide and tetrapentyl ammonium iodide is useful in the present invention.

Metal fluoride useful in the present invention is selected from a group consisting of cesium fluoride, potassium fluoride, calcium fluoride and sodium fluoride.

The antibacterially active compounds of formula I can be prepared in only two reaction steps, according to the present invention, which results in high production yield. Consequently, the method of the present invention is very advanced and economical compared to the conventional methods, having complicated multi-reaction steps and unsuitable for industrial application.

The prepared compound of formula I may be reacted with an organic acid such as methane sulfonic acid and p-toluene sulfonic acid or an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, so as to produce an acid addition salt. Also, it may be reacted with sodium or potassium, to give a corresponding carboxylic acid salt.

Products obtained by the method of the present invention may be separated and filtered in a conventional manner such as evaporation, filtration, extraction, recrystallization and the combination thereof. For example, reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature to obtain a precipitate which is subsequently filtered. Thereafter, the solvent used is removed by concentration. To the concentrate, water is added to precipitate a product and filtered to collect the product. When a by-product is included, the product may be further purified by washing, chromatography or re-crystallization.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be further described with reference to specific examples. Unless otherwise stated, all percentages, parts and ratios therein are by weight.
