Abstract:
Novel 9-amino-7-(substituted amino)-6-demethyl-6-deoxytetracyclines having activity against a wide spectrum of organisms including organisms which are resistant to tetracyclines are disclosed. Also disclosed are intermediates and methods for making the novel compounds of the present invention.
Abstract:
The invention provides compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, X and W are defined in the specification. These compounds are useful as antibiotic agents.
Abstract:
A coordination compound useful as a hydrogenation catalyst, having the formula: ##STR1## wherein Ph is phenyl; R is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl; and X is chloro, bromo or iodo. This compound is particularly useful as a homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst in the production of alpha-6-deoxytetracyclines, particularly the antibiotic doxycycline. The desired alpha-6-deoxy product is produced in high yields and stereospecificities, the process requiring the use of minimal quantities of rhodium metal in the hydrogenation catalyst per mole of the 6-methylenetetracycline hydrogenated.

Abstract:
A process for producing 7-dimethylamino-6-demethyl-6-deoxytetracycline (minocycline) which comprises treating the reaction liquid containing minocycline and formaldehyde with hydroxylamine or urea, the reaction liquid being obtained after reductive methylation of 7-amino-6-demethyl-6-deoxytetracycline by using aldehyde, then subjecting the reaction liquid to an adsorption treatment with a nonionic adsorption resin (adsorbent), and subsequently eluting the intended product adsorbed to the adsorbent.
Abstract:
