Abstract

Disclosed is a method of producing a 3-exomethylenecepham of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is amino or substituted amino and R.sup.2 is a carboxy-protecting group comprising reacting a cephem of the formula ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined above and X is halogen with lead metal while maintaining the pH of the reaction system at about 0.1 to 8. The cephem (I) may be reacted with a catalytic amount of lead metal or a lead compound in the presence of a metal having a greater ionization tendency than lead.
