When the t-butoxycarbonyl~ ~-ketoester, ~ diketone or ~-ketoamide protecting groups are employed~ it ls preferred to convert the acylating acid con-taining the blocked amino group to a mixed nnhydride~ e.g. with ethyl or isobutyl chloro-formate, before reaction with compound II or an e~ter or ~alt thereof. After the acylàtion coupling reaction, the amino-protecting group B
m~y be r~moved by methods known ~ se to form the desired product of formula I. Thus, for example, the t-butoxycarbonyl group m~y be removed by use of formic acid, the carbobenzyloxy group by catalytic hydrogenation, the 2-hydroxy-1-naphth-carbonyl~group by acid hydrolysis, the trichloro-ethoxycarbonyl group by tre~stment with zinc dust ln glacial acetic acid, ~he proton by neutrali-zation, etc. Obviously other func~ion~lly equ~v~

The particular proce~s conditions, e.g.
tempersture~ solvent, react~on time, e~c. ~elec~ed for the acylatlon coupling reactlon are determined by the nature of the acylation method used and ~re known to those skilled in the art. Generally it i~ useful to add an organic tertiary amine, e.g. tr~ethyLamine, N~N-dimethylsniline, ethyl-piperidine, 2,6-lutidine or quinoline, to ~erve as a proton acceptor or salt-forming agent. A
preferred method ~llustrated in the examples which follow involves formation of a s`ilyl ester, e.g. with trimethylchlorosilane, of the inter-mediate of formula II and acylation of this sily~
l~ted intermediate ~n dry methylene chloride at temperature of below room temperature ~nd prefer-ably about 0C. with the appropriate chloride hydrochloride acylating age!nt of formula III in the presence of ~n organic tertiary am~ne.
At ~he concluæion of the acylation reaction, the acylated intermediate is sub~ected to aqueous hydrolys~s to provide the desired cephalo~porin produo t .
~ The eompounds of the present invention m~g be isolated in any of the ways ~ustomarily empIoyed for ~he isolation of similar cephalos-porin~. Thus 9 the product may be ob~ained ~ -~he neutral moleeule~ although thi~ is prvbably more~accurately represented ~s the æwitterion, or ie m~y be ~solated as a ~al~. Form~tion of the de~ired pharmaceutically aceepta~le carboxylic acid or acid addition salt ~s carried out by known methods, e.g. reaction of the ~cid with ~n appro~

At the conclusion of the acylation reaction ~he product obt~ned m~y be converted (before or 1 0 6 2 7~ ~
after r~moval of the ~mino-proteceing group) by methods known per _ to another desired product of formula I. Thus, the compound of formwla I
in the orm of the free acid or a s~l~ thereof m~y be converted by known methods ~o a corres~
pondlng easily cleavable ester or pharm~ceutic~lly ~ccep~able s~lt thereof. Similarly, the product of formula I in the form of ~n eaælly cleavable ester or s~f~ thereof may be converted to the ree acid product or pharm~ceutically ~cceptable ~alt thereof by removal of the esterifyi~g group9 e.g~ by ~queous or enzymatic hydrolysis ~a~ wlth human or ~nimal serum~ or acidic or alk~line hydrolysls or by catalytic hydrogenation or by treatment with sodlum thiophenoxide as t~ught in U.S. patent 3,284,451.
In another method of preparing the compounds of the present invention, 7-am~nocephalosporanic ~cid or a salt thereof is acylated with the acid oiE formul~ III or an acylating deriv~tive thereof to fo~m ~ 7-acylated cephalosporin compound of the formula ~ .

Compound IV in the form of the free acid or an easily cleav~ble ester or salt thereof is then reacted ~ccording to the process of the present invention with ~ heterocyclic thiolc~rboxylic acid of formul~
V or a salt thereo~ mos~ preferably the sodium ~L~6Z7~1 or potassium salt. The displacement resction i8 preferably conducted in aqueous solution ~t temperatures of about 50CO or higher in an inert atmosphere, e.g. under nitrogen. The product of the displacement reaction m~y, if desired~ be converted to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt by treatment with an appropr~ate acld or base. As in the ca~e of the alternate process described above for prepara~ion of the compounds of formNla I, the product in the form of the free acid or salt thereof may be converted to a corresponding easily cleavable ester or pharnaceutically acceptable salt thereof or, alternatively, ~he product in the form of an easi1y cleavable ester or salt thereof may be .
converted to the free acid or pharmaceu~ically scceptable salt thereof.
The easily cleavable esters of the compound of formula I are use~ul as i.ntermediate8 in the produc~lon of the free ~cid product. The piv~l-oyloxymethyl 9 acetoxymethyl and methoxymethyl esters are al~o useful as active antibac~erial agent~s 6ince on oral administration they are rapldly~hydrolyzed ~o the active me~aboli~e.
These three esters are of particular ~nterest because~ they provide on oral administration different ra~es and amounts of ab~orption and give differing concentrations of ~he active anti-bacterial agent in blood and tissues.
The preferred and most active compounds of ' the presen~ invention ~re those having the D-configuration at the a-carbon atom in the 7-side- l chain, that is, those m~de from D~ 2-phenyl-~
glycine, which is also called D-~ a-amin~phenyl- .
acet~c ac~d,.and D-(-)-2-thienylglycine and D-(-~-~062~C)1 3-thienylglycine. In addition, the conf~gura-tion at the two optically active asymmetric centers in the ~-lactam nucleus is that found in cephalospor~n C produced by fermentation and in ~he 7-aminocephalosporanic acid derived there-from.
The pharm~ceutically active compounds of the present invention are potent antibacterial :
~gents useful in the treatment of infertious dlseases in poultry ~nd animals, including man, caused by m~ny Gram-posi~ive and Gram-negative bacteria. The active compounds are also of value ~s nutritional suppllements in animal feeds .
and as agen~s ~or the trealtment of mastitis in ca~le. The preferred compounds have also been unexpectedly found to be efficiently absorbed uposl oral administration.
Despite the synthesis of a large number of cephalosporins reported in the scientific and patent liter~ture, the only cephalosporin at th~
present ~me having suffic;Lent actlv~ty ~nd or~l ~bsorption for general: oral use is cephalexin.
In our search for new orally active cephfllosporins, we ha~ve found ~hat the compounds claimed~ in the present ln~ention fiurprlsingly and unexpectedly possess:~good or~l absorption and at ~he~lsame ~ime appear to be superior to cephalexin ~n the~r activity against certain impor~ant pathogen~c org~ni~ms.

An examinat~on of Table VIII shows that very small struc~ural changes in the 3-acyl-thiomethyl substituent can greatly affect oral ~bsorption, The very closely-related compounds S86, 6~7 and 556,` for example, have blood levels after 3b minutes of 34.8, 1.2 and 15.2 mcg./ml.
An examination o~ Tables I - VII shows the same unpredictability with respect to in vitro activi-ties. Compounds 586 and 567 claimed in the present invention surprisingly and unexpectedly showed both excellent activity relative to cephalexin in the primary screening tests and good or-l absorption proper~ies.
