Furthermore, acid salts such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide of the free amino radical are also exemplified as the protected amino.
The acylation reaction may be carried out in a conventional manner, for instance, in a solvent such as acetone, dioxane, acetonitrile, chloroform, ethylenechloride, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl acetate, dimethylformamide, pyridine or water, or any other appropriate organic solvents. The reaction may be preferably carried out under cooling or at room temperature.
When the .beta.-amino aliphatic carboxylic acid derivatives of formula III are employed in the form of their free acids or their salts, the acylation reaction may be effected in the presence of a condensing agent, for example, such as N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, thionylchloride, or the like. Suitable reactive derivatives of the .beta.-amino aliphatic carboxylic acid derivatives III may include carboxylic acid halides, active amides, active esters, acid anhydrides or mixed anhydrides with the other carboxylic acids.
The acylation reaction also may be carried out after treating the 7-amino-3-substituted-3-cephem-4-carboxylic acids II with a silylating agent such as chlorotrimethylsilane, bis[N,N-trimethylsilyl]acetamide, N-trimethylsilylacetamide, or the like.
The acylation is followed, if necessary, by removing reaction of the protective group on the amino radical, and the silyl group.
The removing reaction of the protective group on the amino radical may be carried out in a conventional manner, for instance, by treating the acylation resultant with acids such as formic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, and the like, or by catalytic reduction, although depending upon the protective group to be removed.
The removing reaction using acids may be adopted for the compounds having such protective group as benzyloxycarbonyl, substituted benzyloxycarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, substituted alkoxycarbonyl, aralkoxycarbonyl, adamantyloxycarbonyl, trityl, substituted phenylthio, substituted aralkylidene, substituted alkylidene, substituted cycloalkylidene, or the like. The removing reaction by the catalytic reduction may be adopted for the compounds having such protective group as benzyloxycarbonyl, substituted benzyloxycarbonyl, 2-pyridylmethoxy carbonyl, or the like. When the protective group is trifluoroacetyl, it may be removed by treating the acylation resultant with water, and when the protective group is haloalkoxycarbonyl or 8-quinolyloxycarbonyl, they may be removed by treating the acylation resultant with copper, zinc, or the like.
The removing reaction of the silyl group, which is usually removed easily by the post-treatment of the acylation resultant in the acylation reaction, may be carried out by treating the acylation resultant with water.
It should be understood that these removing reactions of the protective group on the amino radical and the silyl group may be carried out without the isolation of the acylation resultant from the reaction medium.
Alternatively, some of the desired compounds of the present invention may be prepared by reacting the 7-acylated aminocephalosporanic acids of formula IV: ##STR5## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and M are as defined above and X' is amino or protected amino,
which may be prepared by reacting 7-aminocephalosporanic acid with the .beta.-amino aliphatic carboxylic acid derivatives and then, if necessary, removing the protective group on the amino radical, with nucleophiles of the formula V:

and the other of the desired compounds of the present invention may be prepared by reducing the 7-acylated aminocephalosporanic acids IV in a conventional manner.
The reaction of the 7-acylated aminocephalosporanic acids IV with the nucleophiles V may be carried out in a solvent such as water, acetone, chloroform, nitrobenzene, dimethylformamide, methanol, ethanol, dimethylsulfoxide, or any other appropriate organic solvents. The reaction may be carried out at room temperature or under warming. When the nucleophiles V are used in the form of their free thiols, the reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a base such as an alklia metal hydroxide, an alkali metal carbonate, an alkali metal bicarbonate, trialkylamine, or the like. And when the 7-acylated aminocephalosporanic acids IV in which X' is protected amino are employed in the reaction, the objective compounds I' of the present invention may be obtained by removing the protective group on the amino radical in a conventional manner as stated above.
The compounds of formula I': ##STR6## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 ' are M are as defined above, are prepared by the above reaction.
The reduction of the 7-acylated aminocephalosporanic acids IV may be carried out in a similar manner to the method described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,507,861, for instance, by catalytically reducing the compounds IV in a solvent such as water, ethanol, dimethylformamide, and the like, using a catalyst such as platinum, paradium, or the like, at atmospheric pressure or at high pressure. When the 7-acylated aminocephalosporanic acids IV in which X' is protected amino are employed in the reduction, the objective compounds I'" of the present invention may be obtained, if necessary, by removing the protective group on the amino radical in a conventional manner as stated above.

All the reactants to be employed in the various processes of the present invention may be commercially available or be prepared by conventional methods well known to the art or by a variety of analogous methods applicable to production of such reactants.
In accordance with the present invention, a precipitate which forms during the reaction is separated from the reaction mixture by methods commonly used for this purpose, and the resulting reaction product may be subjected to routinely used purification procedures, for instance, to recrystallization from an appropriate solvent or a mixture of such solvents.
The compounds of the present invention may be converted by conventional methods of forming salts from acids into their pharmaceutically acceptable, substantially non-toxic salts, for instance, by reaction with an alkali metal hydroxide, an alkali metal bicarbonate, an alkali metal carbonate, or an organic base, sodium salt being preferred. The preferred method of preparing the salts consists in dissolving the acid in a solvent wherein the salt is insoluble and then adding a solution of the salt-forming compound or the base thereto. Thereby the salt precipitates from the reaction mixture.
