7-AMINO-O-2-ISOCEPHEM-4-CARBOXYLIC ACID COMPOUND AND MANUFACTURE

摘要

There is described novel substituted DELTA 2,3-1, 4-morpholine-2-carboxylic acids possessing a fused beta -lactam ring in the 1,6-position and carrying a substituent cis to carbon 5 in the 7-position of the fused ring system represented by the general formula wherein Q is hydrogen or alkyl and X is amino. Also included in the invention are compounds of the above formula in which the carboxyl group at the 2-position is protected as by an easily cleavable ester group and salts of both the free acids and carboxyl-protected compounds. The compounds and their physiologically hydrolyzed esters and pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful as intermediates in the preparation of antibacterial agents.
