A mixture of benzhydryl 7-[2-allyloxyimino-2-(5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)acetamido]-3-(2-tosylo xylvinyl)-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (syn isomer) (trans isomer) (5.0 g), 1-(3-aminopropyl)-3-mercaptopyridinium chloride hydrochloride (4.0 g) and diisopropylethylamine (0.6 ml) in N,N-dimethylformamido (40 ml) was stirred for 5 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (250 ml) and decanted. The residual oil was washed with methylene chloride (100 ml) and dried in vacuo. To the residue was added anisole (15 ml) and trifluoroacetic acid (20 ml) was added thereto under cooling in an ice-bath. After being stirred for 40 minutes, the reaction mixture was poured into ethyl acetate (200 ml). The resulting precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with ethyl acetate, dissolved in water and evaporated to remove ethyl acetate under reduced pressure. The aqueous solution was adjusted to pH 1 with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, subjected to column chromatography on non-ionic resin "Diaion-HP-20" and eluted with 30 % aqueous methanol. The fractions containing the object compound were combined and 1N hydrochloric acid (3 ml) was added thereto. The acidic solution was concentrated and lyophilized to give 7-[2-allyloxyimino-2-(5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)acetamido]-3-{2-[1-(3- aminopropyl)-3-pyridinio]thiovinyl}-3-cephem-4-carboxylate dihydrochloride (syn isomer) (trans isomer) (1.48 g).

Ethyl formimidate hydrochloride (1.01 g) was added portionwise to the mixture and the pH of the mixture was maintained to be 7.7.+-.0.5 by adding 1N-NaOH. After being stirred 40 minutes, the insoluble material was filtered off and the pH of the filtrate was adjusted to 4.6. The solution was subjected to column chromatography on Diaion Hp-20 using water and 20% (V/V) aqueous methanol as eluent. The fractions eluted with 20% aqueous methanol are lyophilized to give 7-[2-allyloxyimino-2-(5-amino-1,2,4-thiadiazol-3-yl)acetamido]-3-{2-[1-(3- formimidoylaminopropyl)-3-pyridinio]thiovinyl}-3-cephem-4-carboxylate (syn isomer) (trans isomer).
