The reactions mentioned in stage c) are in general standard reactions, well known to a person skilled in the art.
The reactive functions which are suitable, optionally, for protecting are the carboxylic acid, amine, amide, hydroxy and hydroxylamine functions.
Protection of the acid function is in particular carried out in the form of alkyl esters, allyl, benzyl, benzhydryl or p-nitrobenzyl esters.
Deprotection is carried out by saponification, acid hydrolysis, hydrogenolysis, or also cleavage using soluble compounds of Palladium O.
Examples of these protections and deprotections are provided hereafter in the experimental part.
Protection of the amines and amides is in particular carried out in the form of benzylated derivatives, in the form of carbamates, in particular allyl, benzyl, phenyl or tertbutyl, or also in the form of silylated derivatives such as tertbutyl dimethyl, trimethyl, triphenyl or also diphenyl tertbutyl-silyl derivatives.
Deprotection is carried out, depending on the nature of the protective group, by sodium or lithium in liquid ammonia, by hydrogenolysis or using soluble compounds of Palladium O, by the action of an acid, or by the action of tetrabutylammonium fluoride.
Examples are provided hereafter in the experimental part.
Protection of the hydroxylamines is carried out in particular in the form of benzyl or allyl ethers.
Cleavage of the ethers is carried out by hydrogenolysis or using soluble compounds of Palladium O.
An illustration is provided hereafter in the experimental part.
Protection of the alcohols is carried out in a standard manner, in the form of ethers, esters or carbonates. The ethers can be alkyl or alkoxyalkyl ethers, preferably methyl or methoxyethoxymethyl ethers, aryl or preferably aralkyl ethers, for example benzyl, or silylated ethers, for example the silylated derivatives mentioned above. The esters can be any cleavable ester known to a person skilled in the art and preferably acetate, propionate or benzoate or p-nitrobenzoate. The carbonates can for example be methyl, tertbutyl, allyl, benzyl or p-nitrobenzyl carbonates.
Deprotection is carried out by means known to a person skilled in the art, in particular saponification, hydrogenolysis, cleavage by soluble compounds of Palladium O, hydrolysis in acid medium or also, for the silylated derivatives, treatment by tetrabutylammonium fluoride.
Examples are provided in the experimental part.
The sulphation reaction is carried out by the action of SO3-amine complexes such as SO3-pyridine or SO3-dimethylformamide, by operating in pyridine, the salt formed, for example the pyridine salt, can then be exchanged for example by a salt of another amine, of a quaternary ammonium or of an alkali metal. Examples are provided in the experimental part.
The phosphation reaction is carried out for example by the action of a chlorophosphate such as dimethyl, dibenzyl or diphenyl chlorophosphate.
The amidation reaction is carried out from the start with carboxylic acid using an activation agent such as alkyl chloroformate or EDCI, by the action of ammonium hydroxide or of an appropriate amine or of their acid salts. Examples are provided hereafter in the experimental part.
The acylation and sulphonylation reactions are carried out on the hydroxyureas by the action of an appropriate halide or carboxylic acid anhydride or of an appropriate sulphonic acid halide respectively. Several examples are provided hereafter in the experimental part.
The alkylation reaction is carried out by the action of an alkyl or substituted alkyl halide on the hydroxylated derivatives, in particular by a free or esterified carboxy radical. Illustrations are provided hereafter in the experimental part.
The optional final introduction of a double bond, which is then preferably situated between the carbon atoms carrying R4 and R1, is carried out by the action of a halogenated derivative of selenium then oxidation, according to methods known to a person skilled in the art. An example appears hereafter in the experimental part.
The formation of a urea group, which relates to the substituent R8 is preferably carried out by the action of an appropriate isocyanate on the free NH. An example appears hereafter in the experimental part.
The introduction of a tetrazole group is carried out by the action of a halogenated derivative, preferably fluorinated, of the protected tetrazole. Deprotection can be carried out by hydrogenolysis.
The reduction of acids to alcohols can be carried out by the action of a borane or via an intermediate mixed anhydride, by the action of an alkaline borohydride. The mixed anhydride is prepared for example using an alkyl chloroformate. An example is provided in the experimental part.
The dehydration of amide to nitrile can take place under carbonylation and cyclization reaction conditions.
Oxidation of sulphides to sulphoxides and/or sulphones can be carried out by means of a peracid such as metachloroperbenzoic acid or perphtalic acid or of any other appropriate reagent known by those skilled in the art.
Salification by acids is optionally carried out by the addition of an acid in soluble phase to the compound. Salification by bases can concern either the compounds comprising an acid function, in particular a carboxy function, or those comprising a sulphooxy function or phosphoric acid derivative or those comprising a heterocycle having an acid character. In the first case, the operation is carried out by adding an appropriate base such as those mentioned previously. In the second case, the pyridinium salt is directly obtained during the action of the SO3-pyridine compound and the other salts are obtained from this pyridinium salt. In either case, it can also be carried out by ion exchange on resin. Examples of salification appear hereafter in the experimental part.
Separation of enantiomers and diasterisomers can be carried out according to techniques known to a person skilled in the art, in particular chromatography.
As well as via the processes described previously, the compounds of formula (I) can of course be obtained by methods which use at the start a compound of formula (II) in which R′1, A′, R′2, R3 and HZ have the values which lead directly (without conversion) to those of the compounds that need to be prepared. If appropriate, those with these values which will contain reactive functions such as those mentioned above are then protected, deprotection occurring following cyclization stage b or at any other appropriate moment in the synthesis. Protection and deprotection is then carried out as described above.
Such methods are provided hereafter in the experimental part.
The products of general formula (I) have a very good antibiotic activity on gram(+)bacteria such as staphylococci. Their effectiveness on gram (−) bacteria, in particular on coliform bacteria is particularly notable.
These properties render said products as well as their acid salts and pharmaceutically acceptable bases suitable for use as medicaments in the treatment of germ sensitive infections, in particular staphylococcia, such as staphylococcal septicemias, malignant staphylococcia of the face or skin, pyoderma, septic or suppurative wounds, anthrax, phlegmons, erysipelas, acute, primative or post-influenzal staphylococcia, broncho-pneumonia, pulmonary suppurations.

Example 1
diphenylmethyl cis-7-oxo-6-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3,2,1]octane-4-propanoate
3.16 g (10.6 mmoles) of the hydrochloride of 3-oxo-1-(phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinepropanoic acid (M=297.7 g) (described in the Japanese Patent Application J54098-772) is mixed with 100 ml of ethanol and cooled down to 10° C. Under a stream of nitrogen, 1.84 g of NaBH4 is added over 15 minutes, whilst maintaining the temperature between 8 and 13° C. The temperature is left to rise to ambient temperature and the reaction medium is left in contact for 1 hour 30 minutes. Another 380 mg of NaBH4 is added and the reaction medium is left to react overnight at ambient temperature.
The solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure, the residue is taken up in 50 ml of water and the pH is adjusted from 10 to 2 using concentrated hydrochloric acid. The reaction medium is evaporated again under reduced pressure. The solid residue (approximately 10.8 g) is washed twice with 100 ml of ethanol then the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure.
3.10 g of the hydrochloride of 3-hydroxy-1-(phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinepropanoic acid (M=299.7 g) is thus obtained, which corresponds to a yield of 97%.
The 3.10 g (10.3 mmoles) of the compound obtained previously, is diluted with 100 ml of ethanol then added to 900 mg of Pd/C at 10% by prehydrogenated weight and in 30 ml of ethanol.
The reaction medium is left under a hydrogen atmosphere at normal pressure overnight, then the catalyst is eliminated by filtration and the ethanol is eliminated by evaporation under reduced pressure.
1.90 g of the hydrochloride of trans-3-hydroxy-4-piperidinepropanoic acid (M=209.6 g) is obtained i.e. a yield of 88%.
1.79 g (8.54 mmoles) of the compound obtained previously is mixed with 20 ml of ethanol and 20 ml of water.
Then concentrated soda is added until the pH is approximately 8.5.
Then, 1 ml of allyl chloroformate and concentrated soda are added so as to keep the pH between 8 and 9.
The reaction mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate w then the aqueous phase is acidified to pH 2 by the addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid and re-extracted with ethyl acetate. After drying and evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure, 1.69 g of crude product is obtained which is taken up in a mixture of dichloromethane and ethanol, then the solvent is filtered and again evaporated under reduced pressure.
1.40 g of trans-3-hydroxy-1-[(2-propenyloxy) carbonyl]-4-piperidinepropanoic acid (M=257 g), i.e. a yield of 60% is thus obtained.
3.24 g (12.6 mmoles) of the hydroxy-acid above and 6.4 g of triphenylphosphine are dissolved in 60 ml of THF at 0° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. 2.5 ml of DEAD is then added and after 15 minutes the reaction mixture is evaporated under reduced pressure in order to obtain 12 g of crude product. The reaction medium is purified by chromatography on silica by progressively eluting with a mixture of dichloromethane and ethyl acetate 9/1, 8/2, 7/3 to separate the cis and trans lactones.
2.72 g of cis lactone in a mixture with reduced DEAD and phosphine oxide is thus obtained.

Pharmacological Study of the Products of the Invention
In vitro activity, method of dilution in liquid medium
A series of tubes are prepared in which the same quantity of sterile nutritive medium is distributed. Increasing quantities of the product to be studied are distributed into each tube, then each tube is sown with a bacterial strain. After incubation for twenty-four hours in a heating chamber at 37° C., the growth inhibition is evaluated by transillumination, which allows the minimal inhibitory concentrations (M.I.C.) to be determined, expressed in μg/cml.
The tests were carried out with the following products of the invention:
