In case of using the corresponding free carboxylic acids (--COOH) having the general formula (III) in the said reaction, it is preferable to carry out the reaction in the presence of condensing reagent such as N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, N,N'-diethylcarbodiimide, N-cyclohexyl-N'-morpholinoethylcarbodiimide, triethyl phosphite, phosphorus oxychloride, oxalyl chloride, etc.
The representative examples of the reactive derivatives of (III) are acid halides such as acid chloride, acid bromide, etc.; the symmetric acid anhydrides; the mixed anhydrides derived from chlorocarbonate ester, trimethylacetic acid, thioacetic acid, diphenyl acetic acid, etc; the reactive esters with 2-mercaptopyridine, cyanomethanol, p-nitrophenol, 2,4-dinitrophenol, pentachlorophenol, etc.; the reactive amides such as N-acylsaccharin, N-acylphthalimide, etc.
The said reaction may be carried out in an inert solvent in the presence or absence of basic or silylating reagent(s) at the temperature range of -50.degree. C.-50.degree. C., preferably -20.degree. C.-30.degree. C.

The compounds obtained in these examples were tested for their antibacterial activities in vitro.
METHOD
Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by the standard agar dilution method of the Japan Society of Chemotherapy.
The compounds described in Examples 1, 2 and 4 were dissolved in sterilized water; the compound described in Example 5 was dissolved in acetone-water (1:1); and the control compound, cephaloglycin, was dissolved in a 3% sodium hydrogen carbonate solution.
Serial two-fold dilutions were made from the above solutions.
One-ml aliquots of each dilution were mixed with 9 ml of Mueller Hinton agar in petri-dishes to make agar plates containing the compound at serially diluted concentrations. After agar hardened, plates were put in an incubator at 37.degree. C. for 1.5-2 hours with the lids slightly open to evaporate acetone off the plates.
Test organisms were grown for 18 hours at 37.degree. C. in Trypticase Soy broth and diluted in saline to approximately 10.sup.6 colony forming units per ml. A loopful of each cell suspension was applied on the agar plate mentioned above and the plates were incubated for 18 hours at 37.degree. C. before MIC was determined.
