     The alkynyl groups contemplated by the invention comprise a carbon chain of from two to eight carbon atoms. Representative of such groups are ethynyl, 1-propynyl, 2-propynyl, and the like. 
     The allenyl groups contemplated by the invention comprise a carbon chain of from three to ten carbon atoms containing two consecutive double bonded carbon atoms. Representative of such groups are allene, and the like. 
     The cycloalkyl groups contemplated by the invention comprise those having three to six carbon atoms such as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, and cyclohexyl. 
     The term alkanoyl is intended to include ##STR6## groups wherein R: is an alkyl of from one to three carbon atoms. 
     The hydroxyalkyl groups contemplated by the invention comprise those having two to four carbon atoms such as 2-hydroxyethyl, 2- or 3-hydroxypropyl, or 2-, 3-, or 4-hydroxybutyl. 
     The alkoxy groups contemplated by the invention comprise both straight and branched carbon chains of from one to about six carbon atoms. Representative of such groups are methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, i-propoxy, t-butoxy, hexoxy, and the like. 
     The term, haloalkyl, is intended to include halogen substituted straight and branched carbon chains of from two to four carbon atoms. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the halogen substituent may not be present on the α-carbon atom of the chain. Representative of such groups are β-fluoroethyl, β-chloroethyl, β,β-dichloroethyl, β-chloropropyl, β-chloro-2-propyl, and the like. 
     The term halogen is intended to include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. 
     Certain compounds of the invention may exist in optically active forms. The pure R isomer, pure S isomer as well as mixtures thereof; including the racemic mixtures, are contemplated by the invention. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in a substituent such as an alkyl group. All such isomers as well as mixtures thereof are intended to be included in the invention. Certain side chains may contain more than one chiral center. In these cases the diasteroisomers may be separated and utilized individually. All such mixtures and separated mixtures are contemplated by the invention. 
     The compounds of the invention are capable of forming both pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition and/or base salts. Base salts are formed with metals or amines, such as alkali and alkaline earth metals or organic amines. Examples of metals used as cations are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and the like. Also included are heavy metal salts such as, for example, silver, zinc, cobalt, and cerium. Such heavy metal salts are effective in the treatment of burns, especially when applied to the affected surface of a burn victim either directly or in combination with a physiologically acceptable carrier such as a water dispersible, hydrophilic carrier. Examples of suitable amines are N,N&#39;-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenedi-amine, N-methylglucamine, and procaine. 
     Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are formed with organic and inorganic acids. 
     Examples of suitable acids for salt formation are hydrochloric, sulfuric, phosphoric, acetic, lactic, citric, oxalic, malonic, salicylic, malic, gluconic, fumaric, succinic, ascorbic, maleic, methanesulfonic, and the like. The salts are prepared by contacting the free base form with a sufficient amount of the desired acid to produce either a mono or di salt in the conventional manner. The free base forms may be regenerated by treating the salt form with a base. For example, dilute solutions of aqueous base may be utilized. Dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, ammonia, and sodium bicarbonate solutions are suitable for this purpose. The free base forms differ from their respective salt forms somewhat in certain physical properties such as solubility in polar solvents, but the salts are otherwise equivalent to their respective free base forms for purposes of the invention. Use of excess base where R&#39; is hydrogen gives the corresponding basic salt. 
     The compounds of the invention can exist in unsolvated as well as solvated forms, including hydrated forms. In general, the solvated forms, including hydrated forms and the like are equivalent to the unsolvated forms for purposes of the invention. 
     The preferred compounds of this invention are those of Formula I wherein Y is hydrogen or amino and R 2  is ethyl, vinyl, 2-fluoroethyl, difluoroethyl, cyclopropyl, phenyl, 2-fluorophenyl, 4-fluorophenyl, or 2,4-difluorophenyl.

     The compound of the present invention and of Formula I may be prepared generally by reacting a compound of the Formula IV ##STR10## wherein X, Y, R 1 , and R 2  are as defined above and Z 1  is a halogen atom, preferably fluorine, with an appropriate secondary amine, ZH, wherein Z is as defined above, and, if desired, converting by known methods the resulting free zwitterion or ester to a free acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition or base salt thereof. 
     Starting from a readily available starting material, the compounds of Formula I may be prepared by 
     (a) reacting 3-hydroxy-2,4,5-trifluoro benzoic acid with triflic anhydride, followed by reaction with the appropriate tin reagent, for example, under palladium catalysis to form for example, 2,4,5-trifluoro-3-vinylbenzoic acid; 
     (b) reacting the above benzoic acid with an activating group, for example, oxalyl chloride or carbonyl diimidazole, and an alkyl hydrogen malonate derivative and a base forming as, for example, 2,4,5-trifluoro-β-oxo-3-vinyl benzene propionate; 
     (c) reacting the above product with alkyl orthoformate and acetic anhydride and the resulting ethoxy methylene β-oxobenzene propionate with a primary amine, R 2  NH 2  wherein R 2  is as defined above, forming as, for example, an alkyl α-(N-R 2  amino-methylene)-2,4,5-trifluoro-β-oxo-3-vinyl benzene propionate; 
     (d) cyclizing the above compound by reacting it with a base in a solvent forming , for example, an alkyl-1-R 2  -6,7,-difluoro-1,4,-dihydro-4-oxo-8-vinyl-3-quinoline carboxylate; and 
     (e) reacting the above ester with a secondary amine, ZNH wherein Z is as defined above, and deesterifying the carboxylate forming the corresponding carboxylic acid of Formula I and converting, if desired, the resulting acid to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition base salt thereof. 
     By way of illustration, the following secondary amines may be used in step (a) above to form a compound of Formula I which may be converted, if desired, to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition or base salt thereof. ##STR11## 
     The above secondary amines are either commercially available or can be prepared by known methods from commercially available starting materials. 
     Some of the above secondary amines have one or two chiral centers and can be resolved into their respective optical isomers and/or separated into their respective diastereoisomers in the case of two chiral centers by known methods as described by Y. Kimura, et al, Abstracts of the 1989 ICAAC meeting, Houston, Tex. 
     The bicyclic bridged secondary amines are either readily availabel or may be readily prepared from known starting material by standard procedures or by variations thereof. For example exo- and endo-3-amino -8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes have the structural formula A and the acetyl derivatives B, ##STR12## may be readily prepared from the known starting material 8-(phenylmethyl-8-azabicylco[3.2.1]octan-3-one oxime, [J. R. Bagley and T. N. Riley, J. Het. Chem., 19, 485 (1982)] by the following reaction sequence. ##STR13## 
     Certain compounds of the invention having formula Z wherein Z is ##STR14## are made by a novel process described hereinafter according to Scheme I below. ##STR15## 
     The novel bridged compounds of the present invention are prepared by esterifying a 2,6-diamino-heptanedioic acid (1), preferably with thionyl chloride and methanol, to form the corresponding 2,6-diaminoheptanedioic acid dimethyl ester hydrochloride (2). The 2,6-diaminoheptanedioic acid may be substituted at the 2,3, or 4-positions each independently by an alkyl, preferably by a methyl group. The reaction proceeds at reflux and then is stirred for from 10 to 20 hours or overnight at room temperature. 
     The esterified compound is then reacted with a trialkylamine and an alcohol such as, for example, 1-pentanol to form the corresponding 6,8-diazabicyclo-[3.2.2]nonane-7,9-dione (3). The triethylamine is the preferred reactant. A dilute solution is used. It is heated under reflux for as long as 4 days. 
     The dione formed is reacted with an alkali metal hydride, preferably sodium hydride, and an unsubstituted or substituted benzylhalide to form the corresponding 6,8-bis(substituted or unsubstituted benzyl)-6,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane-7,9-dione (4). The benzyl group may be substituted by an alkyl of from one to four, an alkoxy, or a halogen group. The benzyl group methylene may be substituted by alkyl, preferably by a methyl group. Preferably bromo-methylbenzene or an α-methyl benzyl halide such as chlorine, bromine, or iodine is used. 
     Alternatively when it is desired to prepare the dione substituted by, for example, a methyl group, the dione is reacted with butyllithium and an alkyl halide to form the corresponding bridgehead alkyl-substituted 6,8-bis(substituted phenyl)-6,8-diazabicyclo [3.2.2]-nonane-7,9-dione (7). 
     The above bis-benzylated dione-containing compound is then reduced to the corresponding 6,8-bis(substituted or unsubstituted benzyl)-6,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.2]nonane (7 or 5) with lithium aluminum hydride in tetrahydrofuran, diglyme, ether, diethylether or dioxane. Preferably tetrahydrofuran is used. The reduced compound is subsequently debenzylated by catalytic hydrogenation. Preferably palladium on carbon, to form a desired 6,8-diaza-bicylclo[3.2.2]nonane, hydrochloride (6 or 8). The reaction occurs in methanol and water in a ratio of about 2:1. 
     Compounds of Formula II wherein Z 1  is fluorine are novel and part of the present invention. They are prepared as previously described from compounds of Formula III ##STR16## wherein X, Y, and R 1  are as defined above. For example, the appropriate carboxylic acid of Formula III is reacted with an activating agent such as carbonyl diimidazole in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, THF, at about 25° C. to 40° C. and then treated with the magnesium salt of monoethyl malonate at about 25° C. to 40° C. to provide the desired ethyl 2,4,5-trifluoro-β-oxo-3-(substituted)benzene propionate. Various chlorinating or brominating agents may be used in conjunction with the dianion of ethyl hydrogen malonate at about -78° C. to -40° C. 
     The above propionate is reacted with an alkyl orthoformate and acetic anhydride and subsequently with a primary alkylamino R 2  NH 2 , forming an ethyl (N-R 2  aminomethylene)-3-oxo-3-aryl propionate derivative (5b). The reactants are preferably ethyl orthoformate and cyclopropylamine, ethylamine, or 2,4-difluoroaniline. The reaction proceeds for about 1 to 6 hours at reflux. 
     The above seco quinolone product is reacted with a base in an organic solvent to cyclize the compound forming alkyl N-R 2  -6,7-difluoro-8-substituted-quinol-4-one-3-carboxylate. A preferred base is an alkali hydride such as sodium hydride or tertiary amine such as triethylamine and solvents includes but are not limited to t-butanol, DMSO, tetrahydrofuran. The reaction occurs at temperatures from about 31 20° C. to 100° C. 
     The resulting quinolone is reacted with a secondary amine, ZNH. Possible reaction solvents include acetonitrile, DMSO or DMF. The reaction proceeds at between 0° C. and 100° C. for a about 2 to 18 hours. Secondary amines reacted with the compound may be protected as necessary. Possible secondary amines include but are not limited to all the secondary amines described above by Z. 
     The quinoline is then deesterified and, if desired, converted to a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition or base salt thereof. Useful conditions for deesterifying are sodium hydroxide in alcohol or hydrogen chloride in acetic acid. The deesterification occurs at 25° C. to 40° C. in sodium hydroxide for 18 to 24 hours. 
     Compounds of Formula III are also novel and form part of the present invention. These compounds may be prepared by a variety of methods from readily available starting materials. 
     One route involves converting tetrafluorophthalic acid to its corresponding dimethyl ester by standard methods; treating said ester with methanol and base, e.g., potassium carbonate, in dimethylsulfoxide, DMSO, to afford the dimethyl 3,4,6-trifluoro-5-methyoxyl-phthalate; treating said phthalate with aqueous acid, e.g., sulfuric acid, to provide the 3-hydroxy-2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid. This key benzoic acid may be used to prepare the compounds of Formula III. 
     For example, esterification of the acid and treatment of the hydroxy group with trifluoromethane sulfonyl anhydride provides the 3-trifluoromethyl sulfonyl-2,4,5-trifluoro methyl benzoate. Typical chlorinating agents are oxalyl chloride or thionyl chloride. The reactions are run in inert solvents such as methylene chloride or toluene. Reaction of the ester with trifluoromethanesulfonyl anhydride in pyridine at about 25° C. to 30° C. for about 10 to 18 hours provides the triflate derivative. 
     The triflate ester is treated with tri-n-butyl vinyltin under palladium catalysis, followed by reaction with a typical base (NaOH) provides 2,4,5-trifluoro-3-vinyl benzoic acid. Typical palladium catalysis are Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 , Pd(Cl) 2  (OA 2 ) 2 . The reactions are run in dioxane, DMF or THF at 40° C. to 120° C. for 10 to 24 hours. 
     Alternate routes to compounds of Formula III begin with 1-bromo-2,4,5-trifluorobenzene. For example, lithiation of 1-bromo-2,4,5-trifluorobenzene and treatment of the anion with N-formylpiperidine provides 5-bromo-2,3,6-trifluoro benzaldehyde. Typical procedures involve the use of a base, e.g., LDA (lithium diisopropylamide), in THF at about -78° C. to -100° C. 
     The 5-bromo-2,3,6-trifluorobenzaldehyde may be converted to compounds of Formula III wherein X is alkenyl by treating said aldehyde with the appropriate alkyl triphenyl phosphonium iodide. 
     Compounds of Formula III where X is alkynyl may be prepared directly from 1-bromo-2,4,5-trifluoro-benzene by treating said benzene first in base, e.g., lithium diisopropylamide, at about -78° C. followed with iodine, treating the resulting 1-iodo-2,3,6-trifluoro-5-bromobenzene with trimethylsilylacetylene in the presence of PdCl 2  and cuprous iodide in triethylamine at about 25° C., and converting the 1-bromo position to carboxylic acid with, for example, n-butyl lithium and carbon dioxide, then removing the trimethylsilyl group by potassium carbonate in methanol. 
     The compounds of the invention display anti-bacterial activity when tested by the microtitration dilution method as described in Heifetz, et al, Antimicr. Agents &amp; Chemoth., 6, 124 (1974), which is incorporated herein by reference. 
     By use of the above reference method, the following minimum inhibitory concentration value (MICs in μg/mL) shown in Table I were obtained for representative compounds of the invention.

     The compounds of the invention can be prepared and administered in a wide variety of oral, parenteral and topical dosage forms. It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the following dosage forms may comprise as the active component, either a compound of Formula I or a corresponding pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula I. 
     For preparing pharmaceutical compositions from the compounds described by this invention, inert, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers can be either solid or liquid. Solid form preparations include powders, tablets, dispersible granules, capsules, cachets, suppositories, and ointments. A solid carrier can be one or more substances which may also act as diluents, flavoring agents, solubilizers, lubricants, suspending agents, binders, or tablet disintegrating agents; it can also be an encapsulating material. In powders, the carrier is a finely divided solid which is in admixture with the finely divided active compound. In the tablet the active compound is mixed with carrier having the necessary binding properties in suitable proportions and compacted in the shape and size desired. The powders and tablets preferably contain from 5 or 10 to about 70 percent of the active ingredient. Suitable solid carriers are magnesium carbonate, magnesium stearate, talc, sugar, lactose, pectin, dextrin, starch, gelatin, tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, a low melting wax, cocoa butter, and the like. The term &#34;preparation&#34; is intended to include the formulation of the active compound with encapsulating material as carrier providing a capsule in which the active component (with or without other carriers) is surrounded by carrier, which is thus in association with it. Similarly, cachets are included. Tablets, powders, cachets, and capsules can be used as solid dosage forms suitable for oral administration. 
     Liquid form preparations include solutions, suspensions and emulsions. As an example may be mentioned water or water-propylene glycol solutions for parenteral injection. Such solutions are prepared so as to be acceptable to biological systems (isotonicity, pH, etc). Liquid preparations can also be formulated in solution in aqueous polyethylene glycol solution. Aqueous solutions suitable for oral use can be prepared by dissolving the active component in water and adding suitable colorants, flavors, stabilizing, and thickening agents as desired. Aqueous suspension suitable for oral use can be made by dispersing the finely divided active component in water with viscous material, i.e., natural or synthetic gums, resins, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and other well-known suspending agents. 
     Ointment preparations contain heavy metal salts of a compound of Formula I with physiologically acceptable carrier. The carrier is desirably a conventional water-dispersible hydrophilic or oil-in-water carrier, particularly a conventional semi-soft or cream-like water-dispersible or water soluble, oil-in-water emulsion which may be applied to an affected burn surface or infected surface with a minimum of discomfort. Suitable compositions may be prepared by merely incorporating or homogeneously admixing finely divided compounds with the hydrophilic carrier or base or ointment. 
     Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component. The unit dosage form can be a packaged preparation, the package containing discrete quantities of preparation, for example, packeted tablets, capsules, powders in vials or ampules, and ointments in tubes or jars. The unit dosage form can also be a capsule, cachet, tablet, gel or cream itself or it can be the appropriate number of any of these packaged forms. 
     The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from I mg to 100 mg according to the particular application and the potency of the active ingredient. 
     In therapeutic use as agents for treating bacterial infections the compounds utilized in the pharmaceutical method of this invention are administered at the initial dosage of about 3 mg to about 40 mg per kilogram daily. A daily dose range of about 6 mg to about 14 mg per kilogram is preferred. The dosages, however, may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient, the severity of the condition being treated, and the compound being employed. Determination of the proper dosage for a particular situation is with the skill of the art. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day if desired.
