Abstract

This invention is addressed to a new and improved method for the preparation of 3-alkylthiomethyl-7-acylamido cephalosporins in which a 3-alkanoyloxymethyl-7-acylamido cephalosporin is reacted with an alkane thiol in aqueous medium in the presence of certain inorganic salts to produce the desired 3-alkylthiomethyl product in significantly improved yields.
