said Processes ] to 8.
Regarding the object com~ounds of the formulae (I),
(Ia) and (IC)-(Ig) J and the starting compounds of the formulae
(III), (IIIe), (IIIf), (IIIh), (IV), (Va)-(Vc), (Ve), (XXIII)-
~XXIIIb), (XXIX)-(XXXVII) and (XXXIX), it is to be understood
that said object and starting compounds include tautomeric
isomers relating to their thiazole groups. That is, in case
that the group represented by the formula:
N
R7e ~ ~ (wherein R7e is amino, protected amino or hydroxy)
in the formula of said object and starting compounds take the
formula: 7e ~ ~ (A) (R is as defined above), said group of
the frmUla R7e ~ ~ can be also alternatively represented by
its tautomeric formula: 7f 0~ ~ (B) (wherein R7f is imino9
protected imino or oxo). That is, both o the said groups
(A) and (B) are in the state of equilibrium as so-colled

(wherein R7e and R7f are each as defined above).
These types of tautomerism between 2-amino- and 2-
hydroxythiazole compounds and 2-imino-or 2-oxo-thiazoline
compounds as stated above have been well known in the literature,
and it is obvious to a person skilled in arts that both of the
tautomeric isomers are equilibrated and easily convertible
reciprocally, and accordingly it is to be understood that such
isomers are included within the same category of the compound
per se. Accordingly, the both of t:he tautomeric for~s of the
object compounds (I), (Ia) and (IC)-(Ig), and the starting
compounds (III), (IIIe), (IIIf), (IIIh), (IV), (Va)-(Vc), (Ve),
(XYIII)-(XXIIIb), (XXIX)-(XXXVII) and (XXXIX) ar.e clearly
included within the scope of the present invention. In the
present specification, claims and examples, the object and
starting compounds including the group of such tautomeric isomers
are represented by using one of the expressions therefor, that
is the formula~ " only for the convenient sake.

Furthermore, regarding the object compounds (I), (Ia)~
(Ic) and (Ig), and the starting compounds (II), (IV), tv) and
(Va), the compounds wherein R3 is carboxy and R4 is formyl can
be also regarded as substantially same compounds as the compounds
wherein R3 and R4 are linked together to form a group of the
- 12 -

1 337~22
formula: -COOCH(OH)- , i.e. so-called intramolecular hcmiacylal
type compounds, and accordingly both of them are understood to
be included within the same category of the compound per se
and therefore within the scope o~ the present invention.

bis(t~imethylsilyl)acetamide, trimethylsilylacetamide or the
like.
Suitable salt of the compound (II) may i.nclude an acid
- 21 -

1 ~37522
addition salt such as an organic acid salt (e.g., acetate,
maleate, tartrate, benzenesulfonate, toluenesul~onate, etc.) or
an inorganic acid salt (e.g., hydrochloride, hydrobromide,
sulfate, phosphate, etc.); a salt with an inorganic base such
as an alkali metal salt (e.g., sodium salt, potassiu.m sal~, etc . ), .-
an alkaline earth metal salt (e.g., calcium salt, magnesium
salt, etc.) or ammonium salt; a salt with an organic base (e.g.,
triethylamine salt, pyridine salt, etc.); and the like.
Suitable reactive derivative at the carboxy group of
the compound (III) may include conventional one used in
amidation.
The salts of the compound (III~ may be salts with an
inorganic base such as an alkali metal salts (e.g., sodium or
potassium salt), or an alkaline earth metal salt (e.g., calcium
or magnesium salt), a salt with an organic base such as trimcthyl-
amine, triethylamine, pyridine, a salt with an acid (e.g.,
hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid) or the like.
The reaction is usually carried out in a conventional
solvent such as water, acetone, dioxane, acetonitrile, chloroform,
methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl
acetate, N,N-dimethylfor~a~ide, pyridine or any other organic
solvent which does not adversely influence to the reaction.
Among these solvents, hydrophilic solvents may be used in a
mixture with water.
The present reaction is preferably carried out in the
presence of a condensing agent such as so-called Vilsmeier reagent,
for example, (chloromethylene)-dimethylammonium ohloride

- 1 337~22
The reaction may be also carried out in the
presence of an inorganic or an organic base such as an
alkali metal hydroxide, an alkali metal bicarbonate,
alkali metal carbonate, alkali metal acetate, tri-
(lower)alkylamine, pyridine, N-(lower)-alkylmorphorine,
N,N-di(lower)alkylbenzylamine, N,N-di(lower)-
alkylaniline as exemplified below, or the like. When
the base or the condensing agent is in liquid, it can
be used also as a solvent. The reaction temperature is
not critical, and the reaction is usually carried out
under cooling or at ambient temperature.
In the present reaction, it is to be noted
that, in case that the starting compound (III) is
reacted with the compound (II) or its reactive
derivative at the amino group or a salt thereof in the
presence of, for example, phosphorus pentachloride,
thionyl chloride, etc., only the corresponding anti-
isomer to the object compound (I) or a mixture of the
corresponding anti-isomer and syn-isomer is always
given as an object compound even if the compound (III),
i.e, syn-isomer is used as a staring compound. It is
of course to be noted that the reaction of the
corresponding anti-isomer to the starting compound
(III) with the compound (II) can never produce the
object compound (I) of the present invention, i.e, syn-
isomer. It may be understood that such tendency and
singularity of the reaction as mentioned above is due
to the fact that the less stable syn-isomer tends to
isomerize partially or wholly to the corresponding more
stable anti-isomer in the course of the reaction, for
example, in so-called activation step of the compound
(III) so that the isomerized compound, i.e, the anti-
isomer corresponding to the object compound (I) can be
produced as an object compound.
- 23 -

1 337522
Accordingly, in order to obtain the object compound
(I), i.e., syn-isomer selectively and in high yield, it is
necessary to use the starting compound (III), i.e., syn-isomer
and to select a suitable reaction condition. That is, the
S object compound (I), i.e., syn-isomer can be obtained selectively
and in high yield by conducting the reaction, for example, in the
presence of a Vilsmeier reagent as mentione~ above etc. and
under around neutral condition.
Especially, in case that the starting compound (III)
wherein Rl is a group of ~he formula: ~N ~ is used,
the ob~ect compound (I),i.e., syn-isomer can be obtained
selectively and in high yield by conducting the present reaction
of the corresponding starting compound (III), i.e., syn-isomer
with the compound (II), for example, in the presence of a
Vilsmeier reagent produced by the reaction of dimethylformamide
witl~ phosphorus oxychloride and under around neutral condition.
And, in this case, it is to be noted that particularly good
results can be achieved by conducting the reaction in the presence
of more than two molar equivalents of phosphorus oxychloride to
each amount of the said starting compound (III), i.e., syn-isomer
and dimethylf^rlnamide as shown in the working examples.
Further, in this case, it is to be also noted that good results
can be achieved by conducting an activation step of thc starting
compound (III), i.e., syn^isomer in the presence of a silyl
compound [e.g. bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide, trimethylsilylacet-
amide, etc.] and the like.
With regard to the reaction of the compound (II) with
the compound (III), it is to be noted that;
when the compound (II) wherein R4 is carbamoyloxymethyl group
- 24 -

1 337522
having acyl group is used as a starting compound, there may be
obtained occasionally either the object compound (I) wherein R4
is carbamoyloxymethyl group having acyl group or free carbamoyloxy-
methyl group according to reaction conditions;
when the compound (II) wherein R4 is hydroxymethyl group is used
as a starting compound, there may be obtained occasionally the
object compound (I~ wherein R3 and R4 are linked together to
form -COOC~12- ;
and ~urther the protected carboxy group or salts in the compound
(II) may be converted in~o free carboxy group; in the course
of thc rcaction or in post-treatment. Thcse cases are also
included within the scope of the present invention.
As clear from the explanation as stated above, it is
to be understood that the Process 1 is a fundamental and the most
advantageous method for preparing the object compound (I), i.e.
syn-isomer.
Process 2:
The object compound (Ia) or a salt thereof can be
prepared by subjecting the compound (IV) or a salt thereof te
elimination reaction of the protective group of the amino or
imino.
Suitable salt of the compound (IV) may include a metal
salt, ammonium salt, an organic amine salt and the like as
aforementioned.
The present elimination reaction is carried out in
accordance with a conventional method such as hydrolysis; reduction;
a method by reacting the compound (IV) wherein the protective
group is acyl group with iminohalogenating agent and then with
iminoetherifying agent, and, if necessary, subjecting the
resulting compound to hydrolysis; or the like.
- 25 -

1 337522
The hydrolysis may include a method usin~ an acid or base or
hydrazine and the like. These methods may be selected
depending on the kind of the protective groups to be eliminated.

of the common and preferable method for eliminating the
protective groups such as substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy-
carbonyl (e.g., t-pentyloxycarbonyl, etc.), alkanoyl (e.g.,
formyl, etc.), cycloalkoxycarbonyl, substituted or unsubstituted

reaction mixture by a conventional manner such as distillation
under reduced pressure, for example, formic acid, trifluoroacetic
acid, hydrochloric acid, etc. The acid suitable for the
reaction can be selected according to the kind of protective
group to be eliminated. When the elimination reaction is
conducted with the acid, it can be carried out in the presence
or absence of a solvent. Suitable solvent may include an
organic solvent, water or a mixed solvent thereof. ~hen
trifluoroacetic acid is used, the elimination reaction may be
preferably carried out in the presence of anisole.
The hydrolysis using hydrazine is commonly applied
for eliminating the protective group, for example, succinyl or
phthaloyl.

1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octanc, 1,5-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undccene-5
or the like. The hydrolysis using a base is often c~rried
out in water or a hydrophilic organic solvent or a mixed solvent
thereof.
Among the protectivc groups, the acyl group can be
- - generally eliminate~ by hydrolysis as mentioned above or by the
other conventional hydrolysis. In case that the acyl group
is halogen substituted-alkoxycarbonyl or 8-quinolyloxycarbonyl,
they are eliminated by treating with a heavy metal such as
copper, zinc or the like.
The reductive elimination is gencrally applied for
eliminating the protective group, for examp]e, haloalkoxycarbonyl
(e.g., trich]oroethoxycarbollyl etc.), substituted or unsubstitllted
aralkoxycarbonyl (e.g., benzyloxycarhonyl, substituted benzyloxy-
carbonyl etc.), 2-pyridylmcthoxycarbonyl, ctc. Suitable

pouring the reaction mixture obtained above into water, but there
may be previously added a hydrophilic solvent (e.g., methanol,
ethanol, etc.), a base (e.g., alkali metal bicarbonate,
trialkylamine, etc.) or an acid (e.g., diluted hydrochloric

The Vilsmeier reagent was prepared from dry
dimethylformamide (0.139 g.), phosphorus oxychloride
(0.290 g.) and dry tetrahydrofuran (1.0 ml.) by the
conventional method. Dry tetrahydrofuran (3.0 ml.) was
added thereto and then 2-methylthiomethoxyimino-2-(2-
formamidothiazol-4-yl)acetic acid (syn isomer) (0.4 g.)
was added thereto at -5 to 0C. The mixture was stirred
for 30 minutes at the same temperature. The resulting
mixture was dropwise added at -5 to 0C to a stirred
solution of 7-amino-3-(1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thiomethyl-
3-cephem-4-carboxylic acid (0.725 g.) in a mixture of
water (7 ml.) and acetone (7 ml.) keeping the pH at 7.5
to 8.5 by triethylamine and the mixture was stirred for
30 minutes at the same temperature at pH 7.5 to 8.5.
Acetone was removed from the reaction mixture. To the
residue was added ethyl acetate and water and the
mixture was adjusted to pH 2.0 with 10% hydrochloric
acid. Insoluble material was filtered off and the
filtrate was extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The
combined extracts were washed twice with a saturated
sodium chloride aqueous solution and dried over
magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off and
the residue was pulverized with diethyl ether to give 7-

(1 ml.), and the resultant mixture was stirred for 70
minutes at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture
was concentrated under reduced pressure and diethyl
ether was added thereto. Precipitates were collected by
filtration, washed with diethyl ether, dried, suspended
in water (10 ml.) and then dissolved in a 10% aqueous
solution of sodium hydroxide (pH 7-7.5). The solution
was adjusted to pH 3.0 with 10% hydrochloric acid under
ice-cooling and stirring and stirred for 30 minutes
under ice-cooling. Precipitates were collected by
filtration, washed with water and dried to give 7-[2-
