Abstract: In accordance with this invention, it has been found that the oxygen analog of 7-amino-cephalosporanic acid and biologically active derivatives thereof can be formed from esters of 7-amino-cephalosporanic acid. Esters of 7-oxocephalosporanic acid can be formed by diazotization of an ester or 7-amino-cephalosporanic acid and contact of the diazo compound so formed with a hypohalous acid and a base in a water miscible organic solvent.
