The above illustrative examples illustrate, where applicable,
all the radicals Rl-R4 to the extent of the definition given to each radical
and within the boundaries with regard to number of carbon atoms which may be
prescribed for each radical.
The invention relates in a further aspect to such chemical
intermediates which are new and useful in the preparation of the compounds of
the formula I.
The compounds of the invention are of value in the treatment
of infectious diseases in man or animal caused by bacterial organisms. They
may be isolated and used as such but also, depending on the presence of basic
groups in the molecule, in the form of salts with pharmaceutically acceptable
organic or inorganic acids. Examples of suitable acids are hydrochloric acid,
hydrobromic acid~ sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid,
citric acid, and fumaric acid.
The side chain of the structure in formula I may contain an
asymmetric center. Depending on the configuration around this center the
compound will occur in different diastereoisomeric forms which are all biologi-
cally active. Likewise the ester groups may contain asymmetric atoms, e.g.
; when R5-CH3 or C2H5, giving rise to different diastereoisomeric forms which
also all are biologically active. It is to be understood that the invention
comprises the pure diastereoisomers as well as mixtures of them.
Penicillanic acid derivatives of the general fo~la 11

are known to have strong antibacterial activity especially against gramnega-
tive organisms ~Canadian Patent No. 914,165). They are, however, not well
absorbed by the oral route and have to be given by injection. It is one pur-
pose of the present invention to provide esters of compounds of formula II,
which are well absorbed orally and hydrolysed within the body to give blood
and organ levels of the compounds of formula II that are adequate for the
treatment of infectious diseases caused by bacteria sensitive to penicillanic
acids of the general formula II. To achieve the full antibacterial activity
of the penicillanic acids II it is necessary to choose such ester groups that
are rapidly hydrolyzed in vivo. It is an essential feature of the present
invention to provide such ester groups that are rapidly hydroly2ed in the body
after oral absorption.
The compounds of the invention with the formula I are well tolerated,
give a low frequency of side-effects and may readily be used in pharmaceutical
preparations, either as such or in the form of their salts, and they can be
intermixed with solid carriers or adjuuants.or both. In such preparations
the ratio between the therapeutic substance and the carriers and adjuvants
may vary between 1 % and 95 %. The preparation may either be processed to
for instance tablets, pills or dragees or can be supplied to medical contain-
brs, such as capsules or as regards mixtures they can be filled on bottles.
Pharmaceutically acceptable, organic oriinoganic, solid or liquid carriers
may be used, suitably for oral or enteral administration or for topical
application, in manufacturing the preparations. Gelatine, lactose, starch,
magnesium stearate, talc, vegetabilic and animalic fats and oils, vegetabilic
rubber and polyalkylene glycol and other kno~n carriers for pharmaceuticals
are all suitable or manufacturing preparations of said compounds. Moreover,
the preparation may contain other pharmaceutical active~components, being
- 3 -

1~5~ .0
suitably adminstratable together with the compounds of the invention when
treating infectious diseases. For instance other suitable antibiotical sub-
stances, e.g. gentamycin and polymyxin.
In the treatment of bacterial infections in man, the compounds of
invention are for example administered in amounts corresponding to 5 to 20
mg/kg/day, preferably in the range of 10 to 100 mg/kg/day in divided dosages,
e.g. two, three or four times a day. They are administered in dosage~units
containing e.g. 175, 350, 500 and 1000 mg of the compounds.
Examples of preferred compounds of the invention are given in Tables
10 1-5. The designations Me and Et in the tables mean methyl and ethyl,
respectively.

where R7 is a lower alkyl group originating from the dialkylsulphate, which
also can be reacted with the esters of 6-aminopenicillanic acid with the
formula IV to give the compounds of the invention.
The esters of 6-aminopenicillanic acid with the general structure
IV may be prepared by treatment of 6-APA with compounds R3-Y , where R3 has
the same meaning as above and Y is halogen or a functionally equivalent
group capable of reacting with a carboxy group under formation of an ester
linkage, such as an organic sulphonic acid residue. The reaction is pref-
erably performed in organic solvents like dimethylformamide, dimethyl-
~ulphoxide or hexamethylphosphoramide.
Alternatively 6-acylaminopenicillanic acid~ with acyl groups that
can be removed without destruction of the penicillin ring system are treated
with R3-Y wherein R3 and Y have the meaning specified above, to give esters
1 of the 6-acylamino penicillanic acids from which the acyl groups then are re-
t 20 moved to give the esters of 6-aminopenicillanic acid of the formula III. A
I ~ preferred method consists of reacting a salt, e.g. the sodium, potassium or
tetraalkylammonium salt of 6-phenylacetamido penicillanic acid(benzyl-
penicillin) with R3-Y in an organic solvent like chloroform, methylene-
I :~
chloride, acetone, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulphoxide or hexamethyl-
ph4sphoramide or in a mixture of an organic solvent and water, e.g. aqueous
acetone or dioxane to give the corresponding ester of benzylpenicillin. The
phenylacetyl side chain is then removed according to the method described
1:
in United States patent No. 3,697,515 or South African Patent publication
67/2g27 by treatment with phosphorous pentachloride in presence of a
tertiary oreanic base to give an imino chloride which is reacted with an

In still another method N-protected 6-aminopenicillanic acids are
reacted with R3-Yl to give the corresponding ester from which the protecting
groups are removed to give the compounds of the general formula IV.
Examples of protecting groups which can be used are the benzyloxycarbonyl
group which is removed by catalytic hydrogenation, the 0-nitro-phenyl-
sulphenyl group which can be removed by treatment with nucleophilic agents
at acid pH (Jap. Pat. 505 176), and the trityl group which can be removed
by mild acid hydrolysis.

previously described in the literature pertaining to this technical field. In
this method the preferred cation is the tetraalkylammonium ion, particularly
the tetrabutylammonium ion. The preferred solvents are chloroform, methylene-
chloride and acetone.
The quaternary ammonium salt form of the above described starting
material may be prepared by reacting the starting material in question with a
quaternary ammonium salt of the formula
AlA2A3A4N ~ B Q
wherein Al, A2, A3 and A4 have the meanings specified above and B is a suitable
anion such as HS04 ~ , CL ~ or CH3COO Q to the formation of a quaternary salt
of the starting material.
The salts of the formula above which contains B as the anion may
be prepared in known manner analogous as described in for instance Belgian
patent 751,791. The anion B ~3 is in the preferred embodiment HS04 ~3 .
The following examples will further illustrate the invention.

Example 1 illustrates the preparation of l'-ethoxycarbonyloxy
ethyl-6-(hexahydro-lH-azepin-l-yl)methyleneamino penicillanate which is not
within the claims of this application but is the subject of the divisional
application mentioned above. It will readily be inferred that compounds with-
in the claims of this application can be made by the procedures illustrated
in Example 1. Likewise in Example 8 formulations (b), (g) and (i) contain
the compound of the divisional application but it will be appreciated that
compounds within the claims of this application could be substituted for that
compound in the formulations shown.

Example 1. l-Ethoxycarbonyloxy-ethyl 6-(hexahydro-lH-azepin-l-yl)-methylene-
amino penicillanate
,~ef~
l-Hexamethyleneiminocarboxaldehyde-dimcth~ t~G (3.1 g) in
chloroform ~50 ml) was added dropwise at -30C to a solution of l-ethoxycar-
bonyloxy-ethyl 6-amino-penicillanate (5 g) and triethylamine Cl.9 ml) in
chloroform (150 ml) during 15 minutes. Then the temperature is allowed to
rise to 0 during 30 minutes and the mixture is stirred at O for another 60
minutes. Water (120 ml) is added and stirring is continued for 10 minutes.
The water phase is separated and the organic layer is washed with water and
stripped. The residue (5 g) showed a strong IR-absorption band at 1775 cm 1
(~-lactam ring).
Incubation of the product with human serum at 37C was found to
cause a rapid formation of 6-(hexahydro-lH-azepin-l-yl)-methyleneamino pen-
icillanic acid.
The l-ethoxycarbonyloxy-ethyl 6-aminopenicillanate was prepared
as described in Canadian Patent No. 960,211.
Example 2

methyl 6-amino-penicillanate, ~-acetoxy-ethyl and ethoxycarbonyloxymethyl
6-~hexahydro-lH-azepin-l-yl)-methyleneamino penicillanates respectively were
', obtained. The compounds showed strong ~-lactam absorption in IR at 1775 cm 1
and were rapdily hydroly~ed by human serum to the corresponding penicillanic
acids.

SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURE
Example 9 Preparation of l~(S)-Ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl 6~j(hexahydro-lH-azepin-
l-yl)-methyleneaminopenicillanate hydrochloride
A. Preparation of l~(S)-Ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl 6~-amino~enicillanate
hydrochloride used as starting material
A solution of l'(S)-ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl 6-phenylacetamido peni-
cillanate (7.4 g, 0.016 mole) in 10 ml dry ethanol-free chloroform was added
to a stirred mixture of phosphorus pentachloride (3.8 g, 0.018 mole) and
quinoline (4.8 g, 0.037 mole) in 25 ml dry ethanol-free chloroform at -20C
under dry nitrogen. After stirring at this temperature for l h, the solution
was cooled to -30C and dry propanol (12 ml) was added during 20 mins. The
temperature was allowed to rise to -15C during 30 mins, then cold brine
(25 ml) was added with vigorous stirring while the temperature rose to -50C.
The reaction mixture was poured into 50 ~1 ice-cold ligroin and stirred for
15 mins, then a further 55 ml ice-cold ligroin were added and the mixture
stirred for a further 10 mins. The mixture was then allowed to separate and
the oil-water phase collected and extracted with 30 ml chloroform. The chloro-
form phase was dried at 0C over sodium sulphate. lR (CHC13) showed ~-lactam
(1790 cm~l) and ester (1790 cm~l). NMR (CDCl3): C(6)H, lH, d at 5.68 ppm
(J=4.0 Hz); C(s)H, lH, d at 5.20 ppm (J=4.0 Hz).
B. l~(S)-Ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl 6~-(hexahydro-lH-azepin-l-yl)-methyl-
ideneaminopenicillanate hydrochloride
To the above-described chloroform solution of l'(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-
~;~ oxyethyl 6~-aminopenicillanate hydrochloride cooled to 10C, triethylamine
(5.80 ml, 0.042 mole) was added with stirring. The temperature was allowed
to rise to -25C and then a solution of hexahydro-lH-azepin-l-ylchloroform-
iminium chloride (3.79 g, 0.021 mole) in 10 ml dry ethanol-free chloroform
was added dropwise. The mixture was then stirred at 0C for 30 mins. After
removal of the solvent u~der reduced pressure the resulting residue was
~30 slurried with dry acetone (50 ml) and filtered. The filtrate was stripped

of solvent and leached with petroleum ether and the syrupy residue dissolved
by stirring with 10 ml 2-pentanon. The solution was kept at ~5C overnight
whereupon the crude product crystallized and was collected by filtration.
i The,crude product was dissolved in methylene chloride (12 ml) and washed with
cold saturated brine (2xlS ml). After drying the organic phase over sodium
sulphate, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the resulting
residue slurried with dry acetone (S ml) affording the analytically pure
crystalline product, m.p. 147-149C (decomposition). [~]D = +163.5 (c=l;
96 % ethanol). lR (KBr): 1795 cm~l (~)-lactam car~onyl); 1760 cm~l (ester
' 10 carbonyl); 1675 cm~l (-CH=NH-). ''
¦ A proton NMR spectrum of the product showed only one signal for
,~ the C-3 proton indicating the presence of only one stereoisomer. This was
confirmed by a carbon-13 NMR spectrum in CDC13 since only one signal was seen
for the 2~.-methyl carbon at 29.44 ppm (from TMS) whereas a mixture of the two
, stereoisomers gave signals for this carbon at 29.51 and 30.50 ppm.
