Relates to acids of the general formula <FORM:0877120/IV (b)/1> where R1, R2 and R3 are the same or different and each is a hydrogen atom or a nitro, amino, lower alkylamino, lower dialkylamino, lower alkanoylamino, lower alkyl, chloro, bromo, iodo, lower alkoxy, hydroxy, sulphamyl, benzyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl or trifluoromethyl group and R4 is a lower alkyl or phenyl group or phenylalkyl group containing not more than ten carbon atoms, such as 6(a -phenoxypropionamido), 6-(a -phenoxybutyramido), 6-(a -phenoxyvaleramido), 6-[a -(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionamido], 6 - [a -(2,4-diisoamylphenoxy) - n - butyramido], 6-[a -(4-trifluoromethylphenoxy) - n - butyramido], 6-[a -phenoxy - y - phenylbutyramido], 6-[a -(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-n-butyramido], 6-(a -phenoxyphenylacetamido) and 6 - [a -(p-tertiary-butylphenoxy)propionamido]-penicillanic acid, and non-toxic salts thereof. The Specification contains examples of many more compounds of the above formula. The compounds may be prepared by reacting 6-aminopenicillanic acid, or a neutral salt thereof, with an acid chloride of the general formula <FORM:0877120/IV (b)/2> or with a functional equivalent thereof as an acylating agent for a primary amino group, such as the corresponding carboxylic acid bromides, acid anhydrides and mixed anhydrides with other carboxylic acids. |
