3-Azido-3-cephem esters are reacted with electron rich olefins, e.g., enamines and cyclic enol ethers, to provide C3 amidines and imidates having antibacterial activity in the free acid form. For example, 3-azido-3-cephem esters react with ethyl vinyl ether to provide 3-[1-(ethoxyethylidene)amino]-3-cephem esters. The latter are deesterified to provide the free acid antibacterials.
