Abstract

New 7-diacylimido cephalosporins are produced by reacting 7-acylamido cephalosporins with an acylating agent in the presence of a silyl reagent. The 7-diacylimido cephalosporins are cleaved to produce cephalosporins containing a different acylamido moiety. Thus, the aminoadipoyl group of cephalosporins produced by fermentation is replaced by a different acyl group by the process of the present invention. The cephalosporins produced are antibiotics having enhanced activity against gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens.
