BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     This invention relates to azabicycloalkanes. 
     2. Prior Art 
     Some azabicycloalkanes have heretofore been known [O. Tsuge et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 60, 4079-4089 (1987)]. However, there is no disclosure on the subject matter of the present invention in said literature. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates to azabicycloalkanes which are useful for preparing side chains of antibacterial quinolonecarboxylic acids, cephalosporins, or other antibiotics. For example, excellent antibacterial agents can be prepared by reacting the objective compound (I) with 7-halo-quinolonecarboxylic acid (U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/353,321). 
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     This invention relates to compounds of the formula: ##STR2## wherein R 1  and R 2  each is hydrogen, hydroxy, oxo, halogen, azido, amino, C 1  -C 3  alkylamino, or aminomethyl, in which said amino, C 1  -C 3  alkylamino and aminomethyl each is optionally substituted by one or two substituent selected from C 1  -C 3  alkyl and amino-protecting group; n is an integer of 1 to 3; p and q each is an integer of 0 to 3 with proviso that p+q=1 to 4 or acid-addition salts thereof. 
     In the specification, C 1  -C 3  alkylamino includes methylamino, ethylamino, propylamino, and isopropylamino. 
     C 1  -C 3  alkyl includes methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and isopropyl. 
     Amino-protecting group includes lower alkanoyl such as formyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, or isobutyryl, benzoyl, lower alkoxycarbonyl such as methoxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, propoxycarbonyl, or t-butoxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, trityl, and the like. 
     Halogen includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. 
     Amino, C 1  -C 3  alkylamino and aminomethyl may be substituted by one or two substituents selected from C 1  -C 3  alkyl and amino-protecting group. 
     The compound (I) of this invention can be prepared by the following reaction scheme: ##STR3## wherein R 1 , R 2 , n, p, and q have the same significance as defined above, and A is amino-protecting group. 
     The compound (I) of the present invention can be prepared by subjecting the compound (II) to deprotection for removal of the amino-protecting group. Thus, the deprotection may be carried out by chemical means generally adopted for removal of the amino-protecting group, depending upon the sort of amino-protecting group. 
     In case the protecting group is lower alkanoyl, lower alkoxycarbonyl, or trityl, the deprotection can be performed in a conventional manner by treating the compound (II) with a base such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or calcium hydroxide or an acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, or trifluoroacetic acid in a solvent such as water, aqueous alcohol (e.g. aqueous methanol, aqueous ethanol) or aqueous acetic acid at a temperature from around room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent used. 
     In case the protecting group is benzyloxycarbonyl, the deprotection can be performed in a conventional manner by hydrogenating the compound (II) over a catalyst such as palladium-carbon, platinum, nickel, or cobalt in a solvent such as methanol or ethanol at a temperature from room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent used, under 1 to 10 atmosperic pressure. When another substituent sensitive to the deprotection exists in the compound (II), such a substituent may be possibly influenced by said deprotection. The compound (II) having azido other than benzyloxycarbonyl may be reduced at a time to give the compound qI) having amino together with removal of the benzyloxy group.
