Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to protected aminothiazolyl acetic acid derivatives and salts thereof, which are preparation intermediates useful for introducing a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkoxyiminoacetyl group or a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkenoyl group into a cephem skeleton, and also to a process for the preparation thereof. The above alkoxyiminoacetyl group or alkenoyl group is a moiety common to antibiotics such as Cefmenoxime, Cefpodoxime proxetil, Cefepime, Cefpirome, Cefzopran, Cefclidine, DQ-2556 (CAS Registry No. 102253-70-3), FK-037 (CAS Registry No. 122841-12-7), E1077 (CAS Registry No.116853-25-9), and S-1108 (CAS Registry No. 105889-45-0), and the like.
b) Description of the Related Art
Antibiotics such as Cefmenoxime, Cefpodoxime proxetil, Cefepime, Cefpirome, Cefzopran, Cefclidine, DQ-2556, FK-037 and E1077 and the like contain a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkoxyiminoacetyl group or a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkenoyl group as a common moiety in their molecules. To obtain still higher antibacterial activities, this substituent is essential.
c) Prior Art
Upon introducing a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkoxyiminoacetyl group or a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkenoyl group into the cephem skeleton for the preparation of an acid amide, it has heretofore been the practice to use an active derivative, such as an acid chloride, mixed acid anhydride or active ester and the like of a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkoxyiminoacetic acid or a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkenoic acid, especially a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkoxyiminoacetyl chloride or a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkenoic acid chloride. Refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-oepn Nos.123,189/87, 264,471/88, 264,470/88, 156,984/89, and the like.
A conventional preparation process is shown by the following reaction sheme: ##STR2## wherein A represents a nitrogen atom or a methine group, R represents a lower alkoxy group, a halogenated lower alkoxy group, a triphenylmethoxy group, a lower alkyl group or an acyloxy group, and R' and R" individually represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent group.
Conventional active derivatives including 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkoxyiminoacetyl chloride have nucleophilic reactivity, because the amino group on the thiazole ring is not protected. Therefore, the active derivative is prepared or when the amino group is reacted with the cephem skeleton to form an acid amide, a side reaction takes place on the amino group, resulting in that a high-purity active derivative or acid amide could not be obtained in a good yield. Antibiotics, as pharmaceuticals, are required to have particularly high quality. In many cases, it is therefore necessary to conduct plural purification steps. The use of these active derivatives therefore has not been considered as an industrially suited preparation process.
To control the above-described side reaction on the amino group, it is preferred to protect the amino acid in advance. A number of protecting groups are known for the amino group. No protecting group is however known to have stability in various reactions and readily removable property under mild conditions, as well as economical merits. Upon conducting a target investigation with a view toward inter alia improving the purity of a product, reducing its production cost and improving the process operability, it was found that such conventional amino-protecting groups are improper. In order to achieve the target, there has been desidered the development of a novel protected aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The inventors have proceeded with extensive research, with a view toward developing a novel protected aminothiazolyl acetic acid derivative which is useful in introducing a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkoxyiminoacetyl group or a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkenoyl group into the cephem skeleton to prepare an acid amide and also permits an improvement in the purity of the product, a reduction in the product cost, an improvement in the process operability and the like. As a result, it has been found that a protected aminothiazolyl acetic acid derivative represented by the below-described formula (I) or a salt thereof can attain the above-described object, leading to the completion of the present invention. ##STR3## wherein A represents a nitrogen atom or a methine group, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be the same or different and individually represent a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, R.sup.3 represents a lower alkoxy group, a halogenated lower alkoxy group, a triphenylmethoxy group, a lower alkyl group or an acyloxy group, and R.sup.4 represents a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a lower alkoxy group or a substituted or unsubstituted amino group.
The present invention therefore provides a novel protected aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative (I) or a salt thereof which is useful for introducing a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkoxyiminoacetyl group or a 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-alkenoyl group which is a moiety common to antibiotics such as Cefmenoxime, Cefpodoxime proxetil, Cefepime, Cefpirome, Cefzopran, Cefclidine, DQ-2556, FK-037 and E1077, and the like and also a process for the preparation thereof.
The present invention provides the following two processes for the preparation of the protected aminothiazolyl-acetic acid (I) or the salt thereof:
(1) One process of route comprises reacting an aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative (II) represented by the following formula (II): ##STR4## wherein A, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 have the same meanings as defined above, or a salt thereof with a (halogenated methylene)-dialkylammonium halide represented by the following formula (III): ##STR5## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 have the same meanings as defined above and X represents a halogen atom.
(2) The other process of route comprises effecting a reaction of an aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative (II) in a liquid mixture of a formamide derivative represented by the following formula (IV): ##STR6## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 have the same meanings as defined above, and a chlorinating agent selected from phosphorus oxychloride, phosgene, diphosgene, triphosgene or oxalyl chloride.

Route (1)
In this route, the process can be practiced generally according to the preparation process of an imine as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,652,644. In the present invention, it is preferred to dissolve a (halogenated methylene)-dialkylammonium halide (III) in a solvent and subsequent to the addition of an aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative (II) or a salt thereof, followed by stirring the resulting mixture.
Although no particular limitation is imposed on the amount of the (halogenated methylene)-dialkyl-ammonium halide (III) to be used, it is used generally in an amount of 0.9-5.0 equivalents, preferably in an amount of 0.95-3.0 equivalents, more preferably in an amount of 1.0-2.0 equivalents relative to the aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative (III). However, where the aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative (II) is a carboxylic acid (R.sup.4 .dbd.OH), it is used generally in an amount of 1.9-10.0 equivalents, preferably 1.95-6.0 equivalents, more preferably 2.0-2.0 equivalents.
No particular limitation is imposed on the solvent insofar as it is inert to the (halogenated methylene)dialkylammonium halide (III) or the aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative (II). Specific examples of generally usable solvents include tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, ethyl ether, isopropyl ether, dioxane, dioxolan, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, butyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethyl butyrate, pyridine, chloroform, methylene chloride, dichloroethane, trichloroethane and the like.

It is however preferred to conduct the reaction at a temperature of from -40.degree. C. to room temperature, with a low temperature of from -20.degree. C. to 0.degree. C. being more preferred.
Although the reaction time may vary depending on the amounts of the (halogenated methylene)-dialkyl ammonium halide (III) or the solvent to be used and also on the reaction temperature, the reaction is generally completed within from 10 minutes to 3 hours or so.
Route (2)
In this route, the process can be practiced according to the method generally known as the "Vilsmeyer reaction". In the present invention, however, it is preferred to add dropwise or blow a chlorinating agent selected from phosphorus oxychloride, phosgene, diphosgene, triphosgene and oxazyl chloride into the formamide derivative (IV) under cooling, followed by, still under cooling, condition reacting the resultant liquid mixture with a solution of the aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative (II) or its salt.

The chlorinating agent can however be used generally in an amount of 0.9-50 equivalents, preferably 0.95-3.0 equivalents, more preferably 1.0-2.0 equivalents relative to the aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative (II).
No particular limitation is imposed on the solvent insofar as it is inert to the formamide derivative (IV), the halogenating agent such as phosphorus oxychloride, and the like or the aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative (II). It is also possible to dispense with the other solvent by using the formamide derivative (IV) in an excess amount. When a solvent is used, specific examples of generally usable solvents may include tetrahydrofuran, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, ethyl ether, isopropyl ether, dioxane, dioxolan, chloroform, methylene chloride, dichloroethane, and trichloroethane and the like. Although no particular limitation is imposed on the amount of the solvent, the solvent is employed generally in an amount of 1.0-50 ml preferably 1.5-40 ml, more preferably 2.0-30 ml per gram of the aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative (II).
The reaction temperature is not limited either. The reaction can be carried out generally at -78.degree. C. to the refluxing temperature of the solvent, preferably from -40.degree. C. to room temperature, more preferably from -20.degree. C. to 10.degree. C.
Although the reaction time may vary depending on the amounts of the formamide derivative (IV), the halogenating agent such as phosphorus oxychloride or the solvent to be used and also on the reaction temperature, the reaction is generally completed within from 10 minutes to 6 hours or so.
The protected aminothiazolylacetic acid derivative (I) so obtained can be isolated and purified by a method known per se in the art, for example, by crystallization when it is in the form of an acid halide, or by recrystallization, silica gel column chromatography, HPLC or the like when it is a carboxylic acid, an ester or an acid amide.
Further, deprotection of the dimethylaminomethylidene group as a protecting group to form an amino group can be conducted by hydrolyzing it under acidic or basic conditions.
