The invention includes a process for preparing compounds of the formula wherein R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄, X, Y, and Z are as defined for formulae I which comprises reacting a compound having the following structural formula with an amine corresponding to the group Z wherein Z is a compound having the structural formula wherein all of the above terms are as defined in formula I and L is a leaving group which is halogen or an alkylsulfonyl group of from one to three carbon atoms, preferably fluorine, chlorine, methane- or ethanesulfonyl. The invention also includes a pharmaceutical composition which comprises an antibacterially effective amount of a compound having structural formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The compounds of the invention are useful in a method for treating bacterial infections in a mammal which comprises administering an antibacterially effective amount of the above defined pharmaceutical composition to a mammal in need thereof. The compounds of the invention having the structural formula I may be readily prepared by treating a corresponding compound having the structural formula IV with the desired cyclic amine VI-f. For purposes of this reaction, the alkylamine substituent of compounds VI-f may, if desired, be protected by a group which renders it substantially inert to the reaction conditions. Thus, for example, protecting groups such as the following may be utilized: carboxylic acyl groups such as formyl, acetyl, trifluoroacetyl; alkoxycarbonyl groups such as ethoxycarbonyl, t -butoxycarbonyl, β,β,β-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, β-iodoethoxycarbonyl; aryloxycarbonyl groups such as benzyloxycarbonyl, p -methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, phenoxycarbonyl; silyl groups such trimethylsilyl; and groups such as trityl, tetrahydropyranyl, vinyloxycarbonyl, o -nitrophenylsulfenyl, diphenylphosphinyl, p -toluenesulfonyl, and benzyl, may all be utilized. The protecting group may be removed, after the reaction between compound IV and compounds VI-f, if desired, by procedures known to those skilled in the art. For example, the ethoxycarbonyl group may be removed by acid or base hydrolysis and the trityl group may be removed by hydrogenolysis. The reaction between the compound of structural formula IV and a suitably protected compound of formula VI-f may be performed with or without a solvent, preferably at elevated temperature for a sufficient time so that the reaction is substantially complete. The reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of an acid acceptor such as an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal carbonate or bicarbonate, a tertiary amine such as triethylamine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), pyridine, or picoline. Alternatively an excess of a compound of formula VI-f may be utilized as the acid acceptor. Convenient solvents for this reaction are non-reactive solvents such as acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, ethanol, chloroform, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, pyridine, picoline, water, and the like. Solvent mixtures may also be utilized. Convenient reaction temperatures are in the range of from about 20° to about 150°C; higher temperatures usually require shorter reaction times. The removal of the protecting group may be accomplished either before or after isolating the product, I. Alternatively, the protecting group need not be removed. The starting compounds having structural formulae IV are known in the art or, if new, may be prepared from known starting materials by standard procedures or by variations thereof. Thus the following compounds are disclosed in the noted references: 1-Cyclopropyl-6,7,8-trifluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid may be prepared by a series of reactions starting from 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoic acid. The sodium salt of 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoic acid is reacted with oxalyl chloride and the product condensed with diethyl malonate in the presence of magnesium turnings to afford after hydrolysis 2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoylacetic acid, ethyl ester. This compound is, in turn, treated with triethylorthoformate and acetic anhydride, followed by cyclopropylamine to afford 2-(2,3,4,5-tetrafluorobenzoyl)-2-cyclopropylaminoacrylic acid, ethyl ester, which is then ring closed and hydrolysed with sodium hydride to give the desired intermediate. 7-Chloro-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid may be prepared by a series of reactions starting from 4-(6-chloro-3-nitro-2-pyridinyl)-1-piperazinecarboxylic acid, ethyl ester. The intermediate, 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(1-piperazinyl)-1,8-naphthyridine-3-carboxylic acid can be converted to the 7-hydroxy derivative with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids which is then replaced by chlorine by treatment with phosphorus oxychloride to give the desired intermediate. The synthesis of both of the above N-cyclopropyl intermediates is described in the Preparative Examples. The compounds of the invention having structural formula VI-f, are either known compounds or they may be prepared from known starting materials by standard procedures or by variations thereof. For example, exo and endo 3-amino-8-azabicyclo [3.2.1] octanes having the structural formula B and the acetyl derivatives E may be readily prepared from the known starting material 8-(phenylmethyl)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one oxime, [J. R. Bagley and T. N. Riley, J. Heterocyclic Chem., 19 , 485 (1982)] by the following reaction sequence. The compounds of the invention display antibacterial activity when tested by the microtitration dilution method as described in Heifetz, et al, Antimicr. Agents & Chemoth., 6 , 124 (1974), which is incorporated herein by reference. By use of the above referenced method, the followed minimum inhibitory concentration values (MICs in µg/ml) shown in the table were obtained for representative compounds of the invention. The compounds of the invention are capable of forming both pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition and/or base salts. Base salts are formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Examples of metals used as cations are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and the like. Examples of suitable amines are N,N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-methylglucamine, and procaine. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are formed with organic and inorganic acids. Examples of suitable acids for salt formation are hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, citric, oxalic, malonic, salicylic, malic, gluconic, fumaric, succinic, ascorbic, maleic, methanesulfonic, and the like. The salts are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce either a mono or di, etc salt in the conventional manner. The free base forms may be regenerated by treating the salt form with a base. For example, dilute solutions of aqueous base may be utilized. Dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, ammonia, and sodium bicarbonate solutions are suitable for this purpose. The free base forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents, but the salts are otherwise equivalent to their respective free base forms for purposes of the invention. Use of excess base where R' is hydrogen gives the corresponding basic salt. The compounds of the invention can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms, including hydrated forms and the like are equivalent to the unsolvated forms for purposes of the invention. The alkyl groups contemplated by the invention comprise both straight and branched carbon chains of from one to about three carbon atoms except when specifically stated to be greater than three carbon atoms. Representative of such groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, and the like. The cycloalkyl groups contemplated by the invention comprise those having three to six carbons atoms such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl. The term, haloalkyl, is intended to include halogen substituted straight and branched carbon chains of from two to four carbon atoms. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the halogen substituent may not be present on the α-carbon atom of the chain. Representative of such groups are β-fluoroethyl, β-chloroethyl, β, β-dichloroethyl, β-chloropropyl, β-chloro-2-propyl, γ-iodobutyl, and the like. The term halogen is intended to include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine unless otherwise specified. Certain compounds of the invention may exist in optically active forms. The pure D isomer, pure L isomer as well as mixtures thereof; including the racemic mixtures, are contemplated by the invention. Additional assymmetric carbon atoms may be present in a substituent such as an alkyl group. All such isomers as well as mixtures thereof are intended to be included in the invention. The compounds of the invention can be prepared and administered in a wide variety of oral and parenteral dosage forms. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the following dosage forms may comprise as the active component, either a compound of formula I or Ia or a corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of formula I or Ia. For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds described by this invention, inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. slid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersable granules, capsules, cachets, and suppositories. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, or tablets disintegrating agents; it can also be an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active compound. In the tablet the active compound is mixed with carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain from 5 or 10 to about 70 percent of the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium sterate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term "preparation" is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier providing a capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets are included. Tablets, powders, cachets, and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration. Liquid form preparations include solutions suspensions and emulsions. As an example may be mentioned water or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection. Such solutions are prepared so as to be acceptable to biological systems (isotonicity, pH, etc). Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution. Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizing, and thickening agents as desired. Aqueous suspension suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, i.e., natural or synthetic gums, resins, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and other well-known suspending agents. Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantites of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, for example, packeted tablets, capsules, and powders in vials or ampoules. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet, or tablet itself or it can be the appropriate number of any of these packaged forms. The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from 1 mg to 100 mg according to the particular application and the potency of the active ingredient. In therapeutic use as agents for treating bacterial infections the compounds utilized in the pharmaceutical method of this invention are administered at the initial dosage of about 3 mg to about 40 mg per kilogram daily. A daily dose range of about 6 mg to about 14 mg per kilogram is preferred. The dosages, however, may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the compound being employed. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day if desired. The following examples illustrate the inventors' preferred methods for preparing the compounds of the invention.

Slowly 25 ml (∼ 2.5 equivalents) of oxalyl chloride in 50 ml of ether was added and the mixture brought to room temperature where it was maintained for 2.0 hours. It was filtered and concentrated to remove low boiling impurities. The residue was dissolved in 100 ml of ether and placed in an addition funnel. Meanwhile, 2.9 g (0.119 mole) of magnesium turnings were treated with 100 ml of absolute ethanol and 0.3 ml of carbon tetrachloride. To this mixture was added 18.6 ml (0.12 mole) of diethyl malonate in 75 ml of ether at a rate to keep the temperature just below reflux. When addition was complete, the reaction was refluxed for two hours. At -20°C, the ethereal acid chloride was slowly added. When addition was complete, the reaction was brought to 0°C over 18 hours. The mixture was poured into dilute hydrochloric acid and was extracted into dichloromethane which was dried (MgSO₄) and concentrated. The residue was then treated with 340 mg of p-toluenesulfonic acid in 600 ml of water at 100°C for two hours with rapid stirring.
