Process for the preparation of the compounds of the general formula (I) or stereoisomers thereof, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or solvates thereof, characterized in that in the process of the preparation of the compounds of the general formula (I), a compound of the general formula (V) and hydroxylamine or its salt, if desired, whose hydroxyl group is protected, are reacted to obtain a compound of the general formula (VI), followed by the process of the addition reaction and, if desired, of the deprotection:
- ##STR9## (wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom, or a hydroxyl, aryl (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkylene or --A--SOn--B group (A is a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkylene group;
- B is a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkyl, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) acyl, aryl or heterocyclyl group;
- n is 0, 1 or 2), R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, or a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkyl, (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkyloxy or (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkylthio group, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are identical or different, representing a hydrogen atom, or a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkyl, aryl or aryl (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkylene group, R.sup.5 is a Y--C" or C" group (Y is a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkylene group, an oxygen atom, an imino group or a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkyleneimino group, C" is a sulfonic acid, phosphonic acid, amidino, acylimidoyl, diphosphonomethine or dicarboxymethine group), and R.sup.6 is a hydrogen atom, or a nonsubstituted or substituted benzyl, trialkylsilyl, tert-butyldiphenylsilyl, tetrahydropyranyl or tert-butyl group) or stereoisomers thereof, and D has the same meaning as that of R.sup.5 or is a hydrogen atom, or a hydroxyl, protected phosphoric acid, protected diphosphonomethine, protected dicarboxymethine, nitro, amino, protected quanido, protected guanidomethylene, cyano, aminomethylene or protected amidino group.
