i.e. 9-deoxo-6-deoxy-6,9-epoxy-9,9a-didehydro-9a-aza-9a-homoerythromycin A. This compound may be prepared by known methods comprising (i) in situ preparation of a compound of formula I from an erythromycin A O-arylsulphonyl oxime, e.g. by a Beckmann rearrangement, and (ii) isolation of a compound of formula I which involves a large number of extractions using chlorinated solvents. It was now surprisingly found that a compound of formula I may be isolated in a much simpler method with significant advantages, e.g. useful on industrial scale, e.g. avoiding extraction steps and e.g. avoiding the use of halogenated solvents.
Thus, in one aspect the invention provides a compound of formula I in the form of a stable hydrate, e.g. having a water content of 4.0 to 10.0%, e.g. 8.0 to 10.0%.
In another aspect the present invention provides a process for the production of a compound of formula I in the form of a stable hydrate, e.g. having a water content of 4.0 to 10.0%, e.g. 8.0 to 10.0%, which comprises isolating a compound of formula I in the form of a stable hydrate, e.g. having a water content of 4.0 to 10.0%, e.g. 8.0 to 10.0%, from an aqueous solvent system by adding a base and adjusting the pH, e.g and preparing a compound of formula I in the form of a stable hydrate, e.g. having a water content of 4.0 to 10.0%, e.g. 8.0 to 10.0%, from an erythromycin A oxime by a Beckmann rearrangement.
A process according to the present invention may be carried out as follows: An erythromycin A oxime derivative susceptible for Beckmann rearrangement may be prepared, e.g. by reacting an erythromycin A oxime with an arene sulphonyl halide, optionally in the presence of a base. The term "erythromycin A oxime" includes erythromycin A oxime in the form of a free base and erythromycin A oxime in the form of a salt.

The reaction between an erythromycin A oxime and an arene sulphonyl halide may be carried out preferably under conditions as conventional for a Beckmann rearrangement, including in situ preparation of an erythromycin A O-arylsulphonyl oxime in aqueous medium where immediate rearrangement may occur to give a compound of formula I. The term aqueous medium includes a mixture of water with one or more water-miscible solvents, such as alcohols, e.g. methanol, ethanol or isopropanol; lower ketones such as acetone; and amides such as dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide, preferably a mixture of water and acetone. One or more equivalents of an arene sulphonyl chloride may be used per equivalent erythromycin A oxime, e.g. preferably 1 to 2, and more, preferably 1 to 1.5 equivalents. Appropriate reaction conditions for the preparation of a compound of formula I according to the present invention may include, e.g.

An appropriate pH includes e.g. about, 8.5 to 12, such as 9.0 to 11.0; for example 10.0 to 11.5. A compound of formula I may be isolated as conventional, e.g. by centrifugation or filtration, and dried, e.g. to provide a compound of formula I in the form of a stable hydrate, e.g. having a water content of 8.0 to 10.0%. The yields may be very high, even higher than 85%, e.g even higher than 90% . The assay of the product obtained according to the present invention may also be very high, even higher than 95% , even higher than 97 % on anhydrous basis. A compound of formula I in form of a hydrate according to the present invention may be dried to give a water content below 2%, for example by drying at temperatures higher than 70°C.
In a preferred process of the present invention erythromycin A oxime in the form of a free base or in the form of a salt may be suspended or dissolved in a mixture of water and acetone, in the presence of a base such as sodium hydrogencarbonate. p-Toluene sulphonyl chloride may be added, and the mixture may be allowed to stir at about room temperature, e.g. until Beckmann rearrangement of a compound has occurred. The aqueous medium may be diluted by addition of more water, and the pH may be adjusted to e.g. about, 10 to 11.5. A compound of formula I in the form of a hydrate may precipitate and may be isolated by filtration.
An isolated compound of formula I according to the present invention may have a water content of about 4.0 to 10.0%, e.g. 8.0 to about 10.0%, such as about 8.5 to about 9.5%, e.g. 8.8 to 9.2%.

The thermal gravimetric analysis at a heating rate of 5°C/minute may show a 8.92% weight loss between room temperature and 95°C. The stoechiometric amount of water is 8.97%, and a compound of formula I may be, e.g. in the form of a tetrahydrate.
A compound of formula I in the form of a stable hydrate, e.g. having a water content of 4.0 to 10.0%, e.g. 8.0 to 10.0%, may be crystalline. X-ray powder diffraction patterns of a compound of formula I in the form of a stable hydrate, e.g. having a water content of 4.0 to 10.0%, e.g. 8.0 to 10.0%, are given in Tablel and more detailed in Table 2.
