phenyl.
These compounds are stated to be intermediates in the
preparation of compounds in which the 3-substituent is a group of
the formula

which are stated to have antibacterial activity.
Although this patent includes the possibility of R° being a
methyl group substituted by an N-containing heterocyclie ring, in
both the intermediates and final products (thus giving a heterocyclic-
substituted propenyl moiety), it teaches only that the heterocyclic
ring is attached via one of its carbon atoms. Thus, there is no
suggestion of a quaternary ammonio-substituted propenyl group.
The reference exemplifies R° in the intermediates and final
products only as methyl. Further, in both the intermediates and
final product, the propenyl group must contain a second substituent
(-03SR4 or -SR, respectively). Also there is no disclosure or
suggestion of a 5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl moiety in place of
the 2-aminothiazol-4-yl substituent.

As shown in the structural formula, the compounds of
Formula I have the 'syn' or 'Z' configuration with respect to the
alkoxyimino group. Because the compounds are geometric isomers,
some of the 'anti' isomer may also be present. This invention .
comprises compounds of Formula I containing at least 90% of the
'syn' isomer. Preferably the compounds of Formula I are 'syn"
isomers which are essentially free of the corresponding 'anti"
isomers.
In addition to geometric isomers possible with respect
to the alkoxyimino group, the compounds of Formula I (and the
intermediates of Formulae VIII and IX) also form geometric (cis
and traps) isomers about the double bond of the propenyl group. -
Both the cis ('Z') and traps ("E') isomers of these compounds are
specifically included within the scope of this invention.
The nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the
compounds of Formula I include salts with mineral acids such as
hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric and sulfuric, or with
organic carboxylic acids or sulfonic acids such as acetic,
trifluoroacetic, citric, formic, malefic, oxalic, succinic,
benzoic, tartaric, fumaric, mandelic, ascorbic, malic, methane-
sulfonic, benzenesulfonic, p-toluenesulfonic and other acids
known and used in the penicillin and cephalospozin arts. Prepa-
ration of these acid addition salts is~carried out by convention-
al techniques.

Examples of physiologically hydrolyzable esters of the
compounds of Formula I include indanyl, phthalidyl, methoxy-
methyl, acetoxymethyl, pivaloyloxymethyl, glycyloxymethyl,
phenylglycyloxymethyl, 5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-ylmethyl and
other physiologically hydrolyzable esters known and used in the
penicillin and c~ephalosporin arts. Such esters are prepared by
conventional techniques known in the art.
The compounds of Formula I in which R1 is hydrogen
exhibit high antibacterial activity against various Gram-positive
and Gram-negative bacteria, and are useful in the treatment of
bacterial infections in animals, including man. The compounds of
Formula I may be formulated for parenteral use in a conventional
manner utilizing known pharmaceutical carriers and excipients,
an d may be presented in unit dosage form or in multi-dosage .
containers. The compositions may be in the form of solutions,
suspensions or emulsions in oily or aqueous vehicles, and may
contain conventional dispersing, suspending or stabilizing
agents. The compositions may also be in the form of a dry powder
f or reconstitution before use, e.g. with sterile, pyrogen-free
water. The compounds of Formula I may also be formulated as
suppositories utilizing conventional suppository bases such as
cocoa butter or other glycerides. The compounds of this in-
vention may, if desired, be administered in combination with
other antibiotics such as penicillins or other cephalosporins.
When provided in unit dosage forms the compositions
will preferably contain from about 50 to about 1500 mg of the
active ingredient of Formula I. The dosage of the compounds of
Formula I is dependent on such factors as the weight and age of
the patient as well as the particular nature and severity of the
disease, and is within the discretion of the physician. Aowever,
the dosage for adult human treatment will usually be in the range
of from about 500 to about 5000 mg per day, depending on the
frequency and route of administration. When administered intra-
muscularly or intravenously to an adult human, a total dosage of
from about 750 to about 3000 mg per day, in divided doses,
normally will be sufficient, although higher. daily doses of some

infections.
The quaternary ammonio group of the formula
-N -Q
may be acyclic, cyclic, or a combination of the two, and may
contain one or more additional hetero atoms selected from nitro-
gen, sulfur and oxygen. '

The numbering system utilized herein for the various
reactants, intermediates and final products is as follows:

[Roman Numeral] - Arabic Numeral Letter
(if appropriate) (if appropriate)
The Roman Numeral designates whether the compound is a final
product [I] or an intermediate or other reactant [all other Roman
Numerals]. The Arabic Numerals and Letters are not used in those
instances where the overall class (genus) of compounds is meant.
The Arabic Numeral designates the particular meaning of
substituent R2. If the particular R2 group contains a carboxyl
group which is protected by a conventional carboxyl-protecting
group, a "prime" (') is used after the Arabic Numeral to indicate
this fact. No "prime" is used if the carboxyl group is unpro-
tected. A "prime" also is used with the generic R2 substituent
(i..e. R2 ) when generically referring to an R2 group containing a
protected carboxyl group.
The Letter at the end of the compound number refers to
the particular meaning of the quaternary ammonio group
-N=Q
For convenience, the Arabic Numerals and Letters
assigned to some of the preferred R2 groups and quaternary
ammonio groups are set forth below.

In another aspect, this invention relates to processes
f or the preparation of the compounds of Formula I. The preferred
procedures are shown below in Reaction Schemes la, lb and lc,
while an alternative procedure is shown in Reaction Scheme 2.
The abbreviation 'Ph' represents the phenyl group. Thus, the
-CH(Ph)2 moiety is the benzhydryl group, which is a preferred
carboxyl-protecting group. When R2 contains a carboxyl group, it
is desirable to protect the carboxyl group with a conventional
carboxyl-protecting group such as the t-butyl moiety. Y
represents chloro, bromo or iodo.

Reaction Scheme la shows two alternate means of going
from Compound IX to Compound XII. The direct route, utilizing a
tertiary amine (XI), is applicable for the preparation of all
compounds of Formula I. The indirect route, via Compound X,
utilizes a secondary amine as reactant, and is quaternized in the
following step. The secondary amine RR'NH may be acyclic (e. g.
dimethylamine) or cyclic (e. g. pyrrolidine), and this indirect
procedure therefore is suitable for the preparation of compounds
of Formula I in which the quaternary ammonio group is acyclic or
'mixed' acyclic/cyclic. This indirect route is not suitable for
the preparation of compounds of Formula I wherein the quaternary
nitrogen is in a fully unsaturated heterocyclic ring (e. g.
pyridinio, thiazolio, 2-amino-5-thiazolo(4,5-c]pyridinio, and the
like).

Reaction Scheme lb is a variation of Reaction Scheme la
in that the 7-amino group of the starting material (II) is
protected as a Schiff base during most of the reaction steps, and
the desired 7-side chain acid is added~later in the synthesis.
Otherwise, the general procedure is similar.

In Reaction Schemes la, lb and lc, the benzhydryl group
was shown as the preferred carboxyl-protecting group. It will be
appreciated by those skilled in the art that other carboxyl-
protecting groups, well-known in the art, may be used. The
acylating acid III may be used in the form of a derivative such
as its acid halide, activated ester, mixed acid anhydride, etc.,
all of which are well-known in the art. We prefer to utilize it
in the form of its acid chloride. Acylating~acid III also may
have its amino group protected tfy any of the common amino-
protecting groups, e.g. N-trityl, N-formyl, or the like. The
base used to convert the phosphonium iodide (VI or XV) to give
the phosphorylide (VII or XVI) may be NaOH, Na2C03, IRA-410 (OH )
resin, IRA(C03 ) resin, or the like, or a mixture thereof. The
chloroacetaldehyde used to convert the phosphorylide VII to the -
3-chloropropenyl-3-cephem compound VIII (or Compound XVI to Com-
pound XVII) may be the commercially available 40-50% aqueous
solution, a distilled solution (e. g. 70%) or the anhydrous
aldehyde.
We. have found that Compound VIII prepared from Compound
VII (Scheme la) typically had a Z:~ ratio of about 2:1 at the
propenyl double bond. Compound VIII prepared from Compound XVIII
(Scheme lb), on the other hand, typically was almost exclusively
the Z isomer. The difference may not be in the route used, but
in the conditions utilized in the Wittig reaction (VII to VIII or
XVI to XVII). We have also found that the use of an appropriate
silyl reagent such as N,0-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide in the
Wittig reaction (VII to VIII in Scheme la and XVI to XVII in
Scheme lb) caused improvement of the yields and purity of VIII
and XVII. The reaction is preferably carried out with 2-5
equivalents of the silyl reagent. 47hen the chloropropenyl cephem
(VIII) was reacted with NaI in acetone to give the iodopropenyl
ceprem (IX), the double bond in the propenyl group was isomerized
from Z to E during the iodination. A short reaction period
retained the configuration of the parent Compound VIII to a large
extent, while a long reaction period gave primarily the E isomer
of Compound IX. However, an excessive reaction time at high

13~4~0~
38
temperature gives a lower purity compound IX. We find that about
minutes at 25°C and 2 hours at 5°C gives pure IX in good
yield. When utilizing Reaction Scheme Ic, we have found that,
when iodinating compound XIV with NaI, a purer compound is
obtained if the acetone solution is diluted with CC14 when
iodination is essentially completed, and the isomerization
portion of the reaction is conducted in the acetone-CC14 mixture.
When iodination of the chloropropenyl cephem (XVII) to the
iodopropenyl cephem (XIX) was performed with KI in DMF, the
isomerization of the double bond from Z to E proceeded as fast as
the iodination did. The whole reaction completed within 45
minutes at room temperature to give pure XIX without dilution
with CC14 in the course of the reaction.
Compound XII normally was deblocked without purifica-
tion, and the final product (I) was purified by reverse phase
column chromatography utilizing a glass column containing the
packing removed from a Waters' Associates PrepPAK-500/C1$ car-
tridge.

Reaction Scheme 2, shown in brief outline form above,
is similar to Reaction Scheme la except that Compound XXIII
(equivalent to Compound IX of Reaction Scheme la) is converted to
its S-oxide prior to quaterni2ation. Compound XXV is subsequently
reduced, and the remainder of Reaction Scheme 2 is as Reaction
Scheme la. In Reaction Scheme 2, it is preferred to protect the
amino group of the 7-side chain with a known amino-protecting
group such as the trityl group.
The acylating acids of Formula III herein are either known
_ compounds or are readily prepared by published procedures.

The reactions are carried out in a non-aqueous organic
solvent such as dimethyl sulfoxide, hexamethylphosphoramide,
methylene chloride, chloroform, ethyl ether, hexane, ethyl
acetate, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile and the like, or mixtures
of such solvents. The reactions are conveniently carried out at
a temperature of from about -10°C to about +50°C; we normally
prefer to conduct the reactions at room temperature. During the
quaternization step, at least one mole of the tertiary amine
should be used per mole of Compound IX, XIX, XXIII or XXIV; we

1340~pg
normally prefer to utilize from about 25% to 100% excess of the
tertiary amine.
Carboxyl-protecting groups suitable for use as B1 in the
above reactions are well-known to those skilled in the art and
include aralkyl groups such as benzyl, p-methoxybenzyl,
p-nitrobenzyl and diphenylmethyl (benzhydryl); alkyl groups such
as t-butyl; haloalkyl groups such as 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, and
other carboxyl protecting groups described in the literature,
e.g. in U.K. Patent 1,399,086. ~We prefer to utilize
carboxyl-protecting groups which are readily removed by treatment
with acid. Particularly preferred carboxyl-protecting groups are
the benzhydryl and t-butyl moieties.
Amino-protecting groups suitable for use as B2 are also -
well-known in the art, and include the trityl group and acyl
groups such as chloroacetyl, formyl and trichloroethoxycarbonyl.
Amino-protecting groups which are readily removed by treatment
with acid, e.g. the trityl group, are preferred.
When the cephalosporin nucleus is utilized in the form of
the 1-oxide (m = 1), the 1-oxide is prepared by known procedures
such as oxidation with m-chloroperbenzoic acid, peracetic acid,
sodium tungstate, etc. The 1-oxide subsequently may be reduced
by known procedures, e.g. reduction of the corresponding
alkoxysulf opium salt with iodide ion in an aqueous medium. The
alkoxysulf opium salt itself is readily prepared by treatment of
the 1-oxide with, for example, acetyl chloride.

Purification and crystallization of Compound I-1H (E isomer)
Compound I-1H hydrochloride obtained in Example 16 was
a pale yellow amorphous powder of 85% purity.
Procedure 1
Six grams of the 85% purity hydrochloride was dissolved
in 20 ml of H20 and filtered through a celite pad. The amber-
colored filtrate (pH 2) was passed through a reverse phase column
(the packing of prepPAK-500/C18 cartridge, Waters; 120 ml), which
was eluted with water. The eluate was collected in 120-ml
fractions with monitoring by HPLC*. Fraction No. 3 through
fraction No.. 5 were combined and concentrated to about 10 ml, and
precipitated by acetone (100 ml) to give 3.3 g of the zwitterion
form of I-1H (pale yellow amorphous powder; estimated purity
95%).

~~~o~oo
To a suspension of the 95% purity powder (3.2 g) in
CH30H (32 ml) was added N HC1 in CH30H (18 ml), and the mixture
was stirred at room temperature until a clear solution was
obtained. The solution was filtered and the filtrate was
concentrated to about 10 ml. To the concentrate was added
isopropanol (100 ml) to separate a pale yellow precipitate, which
was collected by filtration, washed with isopropanol (5 ml) and
dried to yield 2.6 g of the HC1 salt (amorphous powder; estimated
purity 95%).
A solution of the 95% purity hydrochloride (1 g) in
water (4 ml) was adjusted to pH 6.5 with NaHC03 (200 mg) and
stirred for 30 minutes. The crystals which separated during
stirring were collected by filtration, washed with water (2 x 5
ml) and dried in vacuo to give 710 mg of I-1H (zwitterion form)
as pale yellow prisms. M.p. >185°C (dec.). Microanalysis showed
