Abstract

7.alpha.-(Dimethylamidino)-3-cephem ester 1.alpha.-oxides represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or acetoxy and R.sub.1 is a carboxy protecting group, are prepared via DBU epimerization of the corresponding 7.beta.-isomer. When R is hydrogen the intermediates are useful in the preparation of the 7.beta.-acylamino-7.alpha.-methoxy-1-oxa-.beta.-lactam antibiotics, and when R is acetoxy the compounds are intermediates to 7.beta.-acylamino-7.alpha.-methoxy-3-exomethylenecepham compounds.
