group employed is not critical so long as the derivatized
carboxylic acid is stable to the condition of subsequent
reaction(s) on other positions of the molecule and can
be removed at the appropriate point without disrupting
the remainder of the molecule. In particular, it is
important not to subject the carboxy-protected molecule
to stxong nucleophilic bases or reductive conditions
employing highly activated metal catalysts such as Raney
nickel. (Such harsh removal conditions are also to be
avoided when removing amino-protecting groups discussed
below.) A preferred carboxylic acid protecting group is
the allyl group. Similar carboxy-protecting groups used
in the cephalosporin, penicillin and peptide arts can
also be used to protect a carboxy group substituents~
Further examples of these groups are found in E. Haslam,
"Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry", J.G.W. McOmie,
Ed., Plenum Press, New York, N.Y., 1973, Chapter 5, and

subsequent reaction(s) on other positions of the mole-
cule and can be removed at the appropriate point without
disrupting the remainder of the molecule. Preferred
amino-protecting groups are the allyloxycarbonyl, the

According to Scheme A, p-NO2 benzyl-7~-phenoxy-

oxy-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (which can be prepared
according to the method of Evans et al., U.S. Patent
No. 4,673,737, incorporated herein by reference) is
reacted with a compound of the formula CH2=C(OCH2CH3)-
(Sn(X)3), wherein X is methyl or n-butyl, LiCl, and
. - (CH3CN~2PdCl2 in a polar organic solvent, preferably
N,N'-dimethylformamide to provide (II~. Further details
of this type of transformation can be found in Cook et
al. U.S. Patent No. 4,855,418, incorporated herein by
reference. Compound (II~ can then be converted to the
3-(2-bromo-1,1-diethoxyethyl~ compound (III) with
Br2/CCl4 in ethanol/CH2Cl2 using a base such as 2,6-
lutidine.

In the above step (vi), the 3-(2-substituted)
thiazolo compounds may be synthesized by reaction of
intermediate (VI) with a compound of the formula
S
Il
H2N-C-X,
wherein X is as defined in Formula 1, above. Thus,
with the desired 3-(2-substituted thiazol-4-yl) sub-
stituent in place, and with the de-esterification of
the 4-p-nitrobenzyl ester occasionally occurring under
the previously defined reaction conditions, the 4-
carboxy position may be re-esterified to the 4-allyl
ester using allyl bromide, NaI, (CH3CH2CH2CH2)4NHS04,
and NaHCO3 in N,N'-dimethylformamide. If deesterifi-
cation does not occur under these conditions, the
p-nitrobenzyl protecting group may be removed by
zinc reduction in a solvent mixture of N,N'-dimethyl-
formamide/tetrahydrofuran/acetic acid or N,N'-dimethyl-
formamide/tetrahydrofuran in HCl and reesterified as
described above to the 4-allyl ester. The resulting
amino protected, carboxy protected "nucleus" (i.e.,
formula (2)) can then be treated with p-toluenesulfonic
acid H2O or trifluoroacetic acid to remove the 7-t-
butoxycarbonyl group to provide the 7-amino 4-carboxy

2~3~
X-7967A - 18 -
protected intermediate. Further, the 7-amino group can
then be acylated with an activated form of the desired
R1 substituent using standard procedures well-known in
the ~-lactam art. Finally, all remaining amino and~or
carboxy protecting groups can then be removed using
conventional methodology.
The 7~-acylamino-7~-substituted-l-carbacephalo-
sporins represented by Formula (1) wherein R3 is C1-C~
alkoxy can be prepared according to the method described
by Koppel, U.S. Patent No. 3,994,885, incorporated herein
by reference.
T~e 7~-formamido substituted compounds wherein
R3 is -NHCHO can be obtained by the method described by
Millner, U.S. Patent No. 4,539,159 incorporated herein
by reference. According to this method, a 7~-acylamino-
or 7~-protected amino-7~-methylthio-substituted 1-
carbacephalosporin is reacted with anhydrous ammonia or
an ammonium salt in the presence of mercuric acetate to
form the corresponding 7~-amino derivative. The latter
is formylated to the 7a-formamido derivative.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that
although the above manipulations utilized phenoxyacetyl
and t-butyloxycarbonyl as amino protecting groups and
the p-nitrobenzyl group as carboxy-protecting group,
there are many which would be equally efficacious.
The 1-carbacephalosporins provided by the
invention form salts with suitable bases, in partic-
ular, the pharmaceutically-acceptable, non-toxic salts.
The C-4 carboxy group of the 1-carbacephalosporin can
form salts with the alkali and alkaline earth metal
hydroxides, carbonates and bicarbonates. Examples of
such pharmaceutically-acceptable salts are the sodium,

2~6~ ~
X-7967A - 19 -
potassium, calcium and magnesium salts. Salts also may
be formed with amines such as dibenzylamine, cyclohexyl-
amine, triethylamine, ethanolamine, di-ethanolamine and
like amines. Likewise, when the 1-carbacephalosporin
is substituted by two or more carboxy groups, di- and
tri-salts are obtained by conventional salt-forming
methods.
The pharmaceutically-acceptable, non-toxic
salts can be useful forms of the antibiotics for pre-
paring antibiotic formulations.
This invention also provides a method for
- treating infectious diseases in man and other animals
caused by bacteria and pharmaceutical formulations
suitable for administration in the treatment method.
The therapeutic method of this invention comprises
administering to man or other animals an antibiotically
effective non-toxic dose of a compound represented by
Formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt
thereof.
An antibiotically effective amount is an
amount between about 25 mg and about 2 grams. The
compound or salt may be administered in a single
. dose or in multiple doses throughout the day. Treat-
ment may continue for a week to ten days or longer
depending upon the duration of the infection. The
particular dose and regimen can depend on such factors
as the weight and age of the patient, the particular
causative organism, the severity of the infection, the
general health of the patient, and the tolerance of the
individual to the antibiotic.

9 ~
X-7967A - 20 -
The l-carbacephalosporins may be administered
parenterally, orally, subcutaneously or rectally. AS
with other ~-lactam antibiotics, the method of this
invention may be used prophylactically to prevent
infections after exposure or before possible exposure,
e.g., preoperatively. The antibiotic 1-carbaceph-
alosporins may be administered by conventional methods,
e.g., in capsules, tablets, by syringe, or by intra-
venous drip.
The pharmaceutical formulations of the inven-
tion comprise an antibiotically effective non-toxic
amount of a l-carbacephalosporin represented by Formula
(1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a
pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Formulations for oral administration include
capsules, tablets, lozenges and liquid suspensions.
The antibiotic or a salt thereof in the form of a dry
powder can be encapsulated in gelatin capsules for
oral use. The antibiotic may also be blended with
an excipient, e.g., a stabilizer, prior to filling.
Capsules may contain between about 100 mg and about
500 mg to provide unit dosage formulations.
Tablets containing between about 100 mg and
500 mg of the antibiotic or a pharmaceutically accept-
able salt thereof can be formulated by conventionalmeanæ and may contain in addition a binding agent,
disintegrating agent, stabilizing agent, antioxidant,
etc.
Liquid preparations of the antibiotic may be
prepared for infant and geriatric use. Pediatric sus-
pensions can be formulated with the antibiotic oral

2 ~ 3 ~
X-7967A - 21 -
excipients such as suspending agents, flavoring agents,
stabilizers and the like. Solutions of the antibiotics
likewise may be formulated with solubilizing agents,
flavoring agents, sugar, water, etc.
Parenteral formulations of the antibiotics
for injection are formulated with Water-for-Injection,
Ringer's solution, physiological saline or glucose
solution. The antibiotic also may be administered in
an intravenous fluid by the drip method.
For parenteral use, the antibiotic or a phar-
maceutically acceptable salt thereof, can be made up
preferably in dry crystalline powder form or as a
lyophilized powder and filled into vials. Such vials
may contain between about 100 mg and about 2 grams of
antibiotic per vial.

butoxycarbonylamino-l-carba(l-dethia)-3-[2-(4-fluoro-
phenyl)thiazol-4-yl]-3-cephem-4-carboxylate was dis-
solved in 1 ml of CH2C12 and 1 ml of trifluoroacetic
acid. The solution was concentrated ln vacuo to provide
a foam which was again treated with trifluroracetic
acid and concentrated out of acetonitrile. From the
resulting foam (CH2Cl2/diethyl ether/hexane) was
obtained a tan solid.
B. Acylation

reaction mixture was then diluted with an additional
1 ml of CH2Cl2 and treated with 19 ~1 (0.168 mmol)
of N-methylmorpholine and stirred for about 40 min.
An additional 19 ~1 g N-methylmorpholine was added,
followed by addition of the product from Part A, above,
using about 2 ml of CH2Cl2 as wash. After 2 hours, the
reaction mixture was concentrated ln vacuo and purified

The reaction mixture was then treated with an additional
5.0 ~l of tri-n-butyltinhydride. After 10 min., the
reaction mixture was quenched with a solution of 10 ~l
concentrated HCl in 0.5 ml of CH3CN. The resulting
mixture was treated with 10 ml of diethyl ether and
10 ml hexane and centrifuged (2X). The resulting solid
was dried under vacuum to provide 16.0 mg of the free
acid of the title compound (93% pure by HPLC) in 73.7%
yield.
A 130 mg (0.248 mmol) of the above was suspended
in about 7 ml H20 and 2 ml CH3CN. A solution of 25 mg
(0.297 mmol) of NaHC03 in 1.5 ml of H20 was prepared
and added. The resulting solution was sonicated and
passed through an HP20SS column eluting with 8% CH3CN-18%
CH3CN/H20. The desired fractions were concentrated and
the resulting title compound washed with diethylether/
hexane to provide 125 mg (99.8% pure).
