Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim 154 words
A process for preparing a compound of the formula: ##STR3## R 1 is hydrogen or an easily removable conventional penicillin or cephalosporin ester protecting group; and R 2 is hydrogen, acetoxy or SHet where Het is a five or six membered heterocyclic ring containing carbon and one to four atoms selected from the group consisting of N, O and S, each such ring being unsubstituted or substituted with one or two groups selected from alkyl, alkoxyalkyl and trifluoromethyl, each alkyl or alkoxy group having from one to four carbon atoms, comprising reacting, in the presence of a non-hydroxylic solvent, a 7-amino cephalosporin or 6-amino penicillin of the formula: ##STR4## in which A, R 1 and R 2 are defined as above, with a carbonyl containing oxidizing agent selected from the group consisting of: mesitylglyoxal, 3-nitromesitylglyoxal, 3,5-dinitromesitylglyoxal, benzothiazole-2-carboxaldehyde, 6-nitrobenzothiazole-2-carboxaldehyde, 3,5-di-i-propyl-1,2-benzoquinone, 3-methyl-5-i-propyl-1,2-benzoquinone, tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone tetrabromo-1,2-benzoquinone, 2,6-di-t-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone and 3,5-di-t-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone, said reaction being carried out with removal of water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 154 words
A process for preparing a compound of the formula: ##STR3## R 1 is hydrogen or an easily removable conventional penicillin or cephalosporin ester protecting group; and R 2 is hydrogen, acetoxy or SHet where Het is a five or six membered heterocyclic ring containing carbon and one to four atoms selected from the group consisting of N, O and S, each such ring being unsubstituted or substituted with one or two groups selected from alkyl, alkoxyalkyl and trifluoromethyl, each alkyl or alkoxy group having from one to four carbon atoms, comprising reacting, in the presence of a non-hydroxylic solvent, a 7-amino cephalosporin or 6-amino penicillin of the formula: ##STR4## in which A, R 1 and R 2 are defined as above, with a carbonyl containing oxidizing agent selected from the group consisting of: mesitylglyoxal, 3-nitromesitylglyoxal, 3,5-dinitromesitylglyoxal, benzothiazole-2-carboxaldehyde, 6-nitrobenzothiazole-2-carboxaldehyde, 3,5-di-i-propyl-1,2-benzoquinone, 3-methyl-5-i-propyl-1,2-benzoquinone, tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone tetrabromo-1,2-benzoquinone, 2,6-di-t-butyl-1,4-benzoquinone and 3,5-di-t-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone, said reaction being carried out with removal of water.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 21 words
A process according to claim 1 in which R 1 is benzhydryl, t-butyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl, benzyl, benzyloxymethyl, p-nitrophenyl, p-methoxyphenyl, p-nitrobenzyl or p-methoxybenzyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 29 words
A process according to claim 1 in which R 2 is hydrogen, acetoxy or SHet where Het is unsubstituted or methyl substituted 1,2,3-triazolyl, 1,2,4-triazolyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrazolyl, 1,3,4-oxadiazolyl, 1,3,4-thiadiazolyl or 1,2,4-thiadiazolyl.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 31 words
A process according to claim 1 in which the reaction is carried out in tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, chloroform, methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethyl acetate, ether, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide or dimethylsulfoxide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 14 words
A process according to claim 4 in which the carbonyl-containing oxidizing agent is 3,5-di-t-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 24 words
A process according to claim 4 in which the 7-amino cephalosporin or 6-amino penicillin and the carbonyl-containing oxidizing agent are present in equimolar amounts.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 20 words
A process according to claim 6 in which the reaction is carried out in the presence of a dehydrating agent.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 18 words
A process according to claim 6 in which the reaction is carried out with azeotropic removal of water.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 13 words
A process according to claim 6 in which the reaction is base catalyzed.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 33 words
A process according to claim 7 in which the reaction is carried out at a temperature of from about 0° C. to about 190° C. for from about 1 to about 72 hours.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 33 words
A process according to claim 10 in which the reaction is carried out at a temperature of from about 0° C. to about 25° C. for from about 12 to about 72 hours.
Claim 13
