According to the present invention, the cephalosporin compounds of the formula (V) can be prepared as follows:
First, a thiazolinoazetidinone derivative of the formula ##STR6## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined above is reacted with a nucleophilic reagent by a method to be described later to introduce the residue of the nucleophilic reagent without altering the position of the double bond, whereby a thiazolinoazetidinone derivative of the formula ##STR7## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and Y are as defined above is obtained.
Subsequently the compound of the formula (II) is reacted in a water-containing solvent with a sulfur-containing compound of the formula
Z--S--X (III)
wherein Z represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or the residue of the substituted or unsubstituted aromatic heterocyclic ring and X represents a halogen atom, whereby an azetidinone derivative of the formula ##STR8## wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, Y and Z are as defined above is obtained.
Thereafter ammonia is added to the compound of the formula (IV) to subject the compound to the action of the ammonia in an organic solvent, whereby the compound of the formula (V) is produced.
The compound of the formula (I) to be used as the starting material in the present invention can be easily synthesized for example from a known thiazolino-azetidinone derivative of the formula ##STR9## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are as defined above by a conventional method, for instance, as disclosed in Tetrahedron Letters, 22, 3193 (1981).
The compound of the formula (II) serving as the intermediate in the present invention is prepared by reacting the starting compound of the formula (I) with a nucleophilic reagent. Essentially this reaction is conducted to replace the chlorine atom at the allyl position by the nucleophilic reagent without changing the position of the C.dbd.C double bond of the compound having the formula (I), thereby giving the compound of the formula (II).
There has been reported a process for synthesizing the compound of the formula (II) (wherein R.sup.1 is methyl or tert-butyl, R.sup.2 is a group COOCH.sub.3 and Y is a group ##STR10## which process involves a number of procedures (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 99, 248 (1977)), as shown in the following reaction equation. ##STR11##
However, this process is far from practical because it has the drawbacks of using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) or like expensive reactants, requiring a number of procedures due to change in the position of the double bond and giving an end product in low yields.
On the other hand, the process of the present invention can provide the compound of the formula (II) in high yields by a simple procedure (or procedures) without involving the movement of the double bond.

EXAMPLE 18 ##STR81##
A 0.55 ml quantity of dimethylformamide was added to 43.0 mg of benzyl 2-[3-phenylacetamide-4-(2-benzothiazolyldithio)-2-azetidinone-1-yl]-3-acetoxymethyl-3-butenate to obtain a uniform solution. The solution was cooled to -25.degree. C. and 14 .mu.l of a 28% aqueous solution of ammonia was added thereto. The mixture was reacted with stirring for 1 hour. Five droplets of a 5% aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid were added to the reaction mixture. The resulting mixture was stirred until it was cooled to room temperature. The cooled mixture was diluted with 3 ml of ethyl acetate. The dilute solution was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4. The solvent was removed by distillation at reduced pressure. The pale yellow residue thus obtained was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, using benzene/ethyl acetate (10:1), giving 22.9 mg of benzyl 7-phenylacetamide-3-acetoxymethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate in 72% yield. The result of chemical analysis conducted in respect to the compound thus obtained was found identical with that of the compound obtained in Example 17.
EXAMPLE 19 ##STR82##
A 0.15 ml quantity of methylene chloride was added to 12.9 mg of benzyl 7-phenylacetamide-3-nitroxymethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate to obtain a uniform solution. Thereto was added 5.2 mg of zinc powder and the mixture was cooled to 0.degree. to 5.degree. C. To the mixture was added 0.15 ml of acetic acid and the resulting mixture was agitated for 135 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with 3 ml of ethyl acetate and the dilute solution was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO.sub.3 and with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4. The concentration at reduced pressure of the dried product gave 10.0 mg of benzyl 7-phenylacetamide-3-hydroxymethyl-3-cephem-4-carboxylate in 85% yield.
